Review
'I would have it on a list of useful books. Elizabeth Peirce's two assembly books have been staple diet in many schools so I can see no reason why a new addition.... should not be useful also.' - Derek Bastide, Senior Lecturer in Primary RE at the University of Brighton 'I would certainly recommend this book to students and teachers as an essential purchase... there is no book as comprehensive or so full of reliable information.' - Mollie Bertin, former Advisory Teacher for RE in East Sussex and Editor of RE Today

'I would have it on a list of useful books. Elizabeth Peirce's two assembly books have been staple diet in many schools so I can see no reason why a new addition .... should not be useful also.' - Derek Bastide, Senior Lecturer in Primary RE at the University of Brighton

'I would certainly recommend this book to students and teachers as an essential purchase ... there is no book as comprehensive or so full of reliable information.' - Mollie Bertin, former Advisory Teacher for RE in East Sussex and Editor of RE Today

'She knows exactly what teachers need ... The book is very well thought out and offers a wide range of material, including stories, poems, playlets and non-fiction extracts. The assemblies really do cater for all ages and provide maximum involvement. The background information for teachers is particularly helpful and the section on place of worship provides enough material to teach a whole topic.' - Times Educational Supplement

'The language used is teacher friendly and the ideas are realistic and accessible. This would be a very useful resource in the staff room of any primary school.' - Hampshire RE Centre

'This is a book that should be on the shelves of all RE co-ordinators and in all staffrooms, regardless of the situation of the school. Elizabeth Peirce's book will support many teachers and students as they prepare their lessons and their assemblies.' - Alan Brown, Institute of Education, University College Worcester (escalate website)

'If any school wishes to make a proper educational use of assemblies instead of using them to fill time while teachers are released for other tasks, this is the book to obtain ... Altogether this is a treasure of a book.' - Education Review

From the Back Cover

Packed with stories, songs and drama activities for primary school assemblies, this book focuses on six major world religions: Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism. The book is helpfully split into topic areas which include:

* New beginnings
* Places of worship
* Friends
* Festivals
* Rites of passage
* Water themes
* Animals and birds
* Inspirational leaders.

Along with a useful section on background information with pronunciation guides, this teacher's resource takes the best ideas along with new material from Elizabeth's previous publications to promote tolerance and understanding of the multi-faith society in which we live.
