Lesson Plans and Pupil Worksheets

To support this excellent educational resource, Friends and Heroes provides lesson plans and pupil worksheets in association with the RE experts at The Stapleford Centre. The lesson plans have been created to complement all the national syllabus guidelines for ages 7-11 throughout the UK and Northern Ireland - including the Manx curriculum. With the kind permission of Manx Radio you can now listen to their interview with Ali Vondy.

"I used the complete Series One of Friends and Heroes with my year 5 and 6 classes last year. The children thoroughly enjoyed every episode. They loved the characters and the storylines, and were always eager to see what would follow in the next episode. The lesson plans are excellent, giving a wide scope for speaking and listening as well as written work. There is a huge wealth of material in these programmes and lessons, giving the teacher flexibility in the way the lesson develops. Friends and Heroes provide schools with a highly modern, excellently produced resource, through which to deliver a wide range of the R.E. syllabus."
