Teachers TV: Primary RE

Useful classroom resources reviewed by teachers and experts."Lesley Prior is PGCE Religious Education Subject Leader at the Institute of Education, and RE Advisor for Hounslow LEA. She has three recommendations for the panel: - a multi-character Rama and Sita storytelling doll by Articles of Faith and accompanying story book - ‘The Yellow Star - Jews in Holocaust’ by Carmen Agra Deedy: an illustrated book about the Nazi occupation of Denmark, published by Cat’s Whiskers - ‘The Monkey King and other Tales’ video pack on Buddhism. Ray Sherwood, Joint Headteacher at St Matthew’s Primary School in Westminster, is using the Rama and Sita doll to tell the Diwali story. Rohan Plunkett, a Year 3 teacher at Simon Marks Jewish School in north London, uses the ‘The Yellow Star’ book to help teach religious tolerance. Lesley joins presenter Hermione Cockburn to discuss the resources with panellists Ray Barker, Head of the British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA), and Alan Mills of the Specialist Schools Trust.
