Reviews

'I am a Year Three teacher and often found it difficult to fit in PSHE/circle time in the busy curriculum. This book made it easy - with at a glance lesson plans that can easily be implemented with little preparation, it is certainly a valuable addition to a KS2 teacher's library.' - Customer review, amazon
