Summary of contents
With so much diversity in our society and in our schools, it is important that today’s assembly resources include material drawn from the major religious faiths that are practised in the UK.
Assemblies Across Faiths is a collection of ready-to-use assembly materials from the writers of the Primary Assembly File. This collection provides a selection of assemblies, each of which focuses on one of six major faiths or draws together themes from several faiths.
Assemblies Across Faiths offers 40 assemblies covering Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism on the themes of holy water; places of worship; places of pilgrimage; symbols; special food; founders and prophets; light and darkness; and values.
In each of our assemblies, we try to draw out a lesson – something that sheds a little more light, perhaps from a previously unconsidered direction, on our own core beliefs and attitudes. We also try to reinforce one of the key principles of good religious education – as well as learning about religion, we learn from religion. It is the ‘learning from’ element that we concentrate on.
Our resources are designed to reflect that it is each school’s own responsibility to interpret the collective act of worship regulations in its own way in order to fit in with the nature of its own community.
We aim to provide schools with a rich selection of resources to be used in assemblies that bear in mind the pressures of primary school life, so we offer assemblies that can, if necessary, be used with a minimum of preparation. Each of these assemblies comprises an introduction, a story, words and thoughts sections, an activity, a conclusion, a prayer and suggestions for further reading.
