What Price Peace?: A Teaching Resource for Primary Schools Exploring Issues of War and Peace

What Price Peace? provides ten units of classroom material and three assemblies for 5-11s based around the theme of the First World War. A century on, with British armed forces continuing to serve in trouble spots around the world, study of the ‘Great War’ offers children the opportunity to engage with powerful issues of faith and belief, helping them to think through questions such as: Is fighting always wrong? How can we work out what is true? How should bullying be resisted? Are some people worth more than others? How do we deal with fear, pain and suffering? Can we really love our enemies as Jesus said? Each unit contains background information, an imaginative retelling of a real-life event, and cross-curricular activities related to RE, History, Literacy and PSHE/Citizenship.
