The Evans Assembly Book

A rich resource for teachers at KS1 and 2 to use in assemblies, RE lessons and at special times of the year, or to help deal with difficult events.

This many-layered collection of poems and prose includes secular and sacred offerings, the latter representing all six main world faiths.

The writings, both ancient and modern, are organized by theme, from religious festivals and relationships to annual events and historical figures, and from citizenship topics to personal experiences of loss, death and illness.

Teacher's notes set out learning objectives, key vocabulary, background facts and cross-referenced strands.

Additional sections suggest related pieces of music to be played, activities, things to think about and extension ideas, so that assemblies and lessons can be built around a single extract.
