More Stories for Interactive Assemblies

Content

More Stories for Interactive Assemblies contains 20 short stories about a group of children from a typical primary school who head off to a farm for a residential visit. The stories follow the children's progress, describing their adventures, their discoveries about themselves and others, and the many ways in which they grow through their experiences.

Each story is stand-alone, although the series fits together into a chronological account. Each chapter includes a brief indication as to what the story is about, a small number of questions designed to encourage pupils to be more receptive, and an optional prayer for use in Collective Worship.

The book can also be used as a class-reader with older children, and contains an appendix of PSHE and RE links to extend the teaching and understanding of the underlying themes.

Ideal for Key Stage 2 / P4 - P7.
