Review

Read the review by Helen Harrison, published by Areiac in Summer 2010.

Us and Them looks wonderful. We'll be able to use it for geography and citizenship as well as RE and its versatility will enable differentiated approaches for pupils of widely varying abilities.

RE Teacher, Hampshire

The Identity section is absolutely stunning. There is nothing like it anywhere that I have seen and the use of young voices is excellent.
