Teachers' panel comments:
'Easy to read and use!
'Useful ideas for discussion and activities. I would recommend this resource as 'a study of an aspect or theme in British history that extends pupils' chronological knowledge beyond 1066' .
'I would use this resource during PSHE or assembly to persuade children to donate to charity at Christmas time, or any other time during the year'.
