Multi-Faith Activity Assemblies

Elizabeth Peirce has extensive teaching experience and was formerly General Primary Schools' Advisor (Early Years) for East Sussex Education Authority.

'anyone who ever has to lead an assembly will find this a very useful resource ... any resource that a busy teacher can pull off the shelf and use to find a good, meaningful assembly in minutes, is worth its weight in gold. This is one such resource.' - ACT'This book is an excellent way to cover all aspects of RE and spiritual development in assemblies. I will certainly be passing a copy to my headteacher.' - Louise Rigby, Junior Education'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
