Heather Butler - Stories to Make You Think (bc1-524)

This book has been written for those working or living with 6-10s who find themselves needing to talk through topical and often sensitive issues such as bereavement, bullying, family matters, spiritual awareness and self-value. Designed to stimulate discussion between adult and child, the stories are based mainly on real-life experiences and use biblical insights and thinking time to provide an accessible entry point into difficult subjects. Each story has been researched and tested at primary level and can be used either in a one-to-one situation or with a group, within the classroom or in the context of the church and family.

Fair condition; the covers are slightly creased and worn around the edges.

Geraldine Witcher - Junior Assemblies (bc1-523)

'Whatever am I going to do with my class for our assembly?' - a question asked by most teachers at some time. This book aims to provide answers in the form of assembly outlines involving the whole class in varying ways - singing, making music, acting, dancing, drawing and so on. There are also suggestions for follow up work in class. A guidance section provides help on various aspects, such as the use of music, and tackles some difficulties, such as lack of space. All the outlines have been written by junior school teachers.

Fair condition; the covers are creased, marked and worn around the edges.

Teaching RE in Secondary Schools - Ideas from the Staff Room (bc1-522)

Edited by Janet King with Deborah Helme.

RE is one of the hardest subjects to teach in secondary school. In an increasingly secularised society young people are often resistant to studying religious issues. To make matters worse, RE teachers frequently work in isolation. With these problems in mind the Association of Christian teachers asked Janet King to draw together the ideas of a number of RE specialists from all over the British Isles. The 26 essays in this book range from important background issues through to very specific ideas for the classroom. Wherever possible they deal with practical outcomes. There is an extensive list of books, with detailed notes on each and a list of helpful addresses.

Reasonable condition; the covers are slightly creased and worn around the edges.

Some page edges have small rips and marks on them.

Margaret Withers - Fired up.... not burnt out (bc1-262)

Most churches are committed to providing a biblically-based nurture programmer for their children, but many rely on the goodwill of parents and other adults to supply the leaders and helpers. This book is designed to help non-specialist understand the biblical rationale for nurturing children in the Church and gain the basic skills needed to be an effective leader or helper. Its five sections give a clear and comprehensive guide to the privilege bestowed upon those who work with children.

Excellent condition.
