He's had 22 years' experience of teaching in a range of primary schools.

It is curious how the subject that dominates political debate, and much of our thinking at home, rarely features in schools. It is almost 'the elephant in the room'. Economics at A level exists as an academic study, but there is little in relation to the ethical questions relating to hard cash. Having a great deal of it is assumed to be the good life; being hard up is not so good. Hudson's volume, aimed at Key Stages in primary schools, will set the standard for years to come. Financial education is the name of the game here, with a subtle message that most maths money problems usually involve spending money, and only very rarely involve giving it away. It is almost as if there is something dangerous or slightly 'iffy' about being generous with money. It is easier to talk about something else. As with the previous volume, each unit includes a story, a biblical context, an RE lesson, and pointers to how the same context can be used in both literacy and numeracy. The ten units in the book, therefore, will provide a year's financial education in an innovative and interesting way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't be easy. From the time of Jesus onwards, we have been left in no doubt that meeting his standards on this one provides the biggest challenge of them all. Regular readers will have spot ted the endless search for good assembly material.

It is curious how the subject that dominates political debate, and much of our thinking at home, rarely features in schools. It is almost 'the elephant in the room'. Economics at A level exists as an academic study, but there is little in relation to the ethical questions relating to hard cash. Having a great deal of it is assumed to be the good life; being hard up is not so good. Hudson's volume, aimed at Key Stages in primary schools, will set the standard for years to come. Financial education is the name of the game here, with a subtle message that most maths money problems usually involve spending money, and only very rarely involve giving it away. It is almost as if there is something dangerous or slightly 'iffy' about being generous with money. It is easier to talk about something else. As with the previous volume, each unit includes a story, a biblical context, an RE lesson, and pointers to how the same context can be used in both literacy and numeracy. The ten units in the book, therefore, will provide a year's financial education in an innovative and interesting way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't be easy.

The book has been divided to represent six different regions: Africa, Middle East, Asia, Australasia, the Americas and Europe.

Although the idea of producing 40 crosses as a craft project sounds very mundane, they have succeeded in coming up with a wide range of mediums including clay, straw, metal, fabric, wood, paper and card.

On countless occasions I have observed children, irrespective of social background or ethnicity, making friends with poetry, their expansive, pristine finding place where razzle-dazzle language becomes, to quote Jeanette Winterson again, 'a string of guiding lights'.

As a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 4, Stewart has presented Questions, Questions for the last nine years.

This is surely a theme which is as relevant to PSHCE as RE.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach section is split into topics.

'Emotional Skills' include 'Self-awareness' and 'Motivation'. A general introduction to each theme explains the personal skills the poems are designed to help develop, while a more specific introduction to each topic gives some background to the poems and suggestions for their use.

'Stories about buried treasure, lost children and locked-up princesses'... and, when moving into adolescence, poetry. For her, 'a tough life' needed 'a tough language - and that is what poetry is. That is what literature offers ... It isn't a hiding place. It is a finding place'.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs someone who has been a working poet for over 40 years, the content of \u003cem\u003ePoetry Emotion \u003c\/em\u003ecomes from the accumulated experience of watching, and listening to, children in classrooms throughout the UK draw shapes of words and thoughts on unlined paper, in some cases in illegible pencil. In itself a privileged and heartbreaking exercise to view; the children not knowing how vulnerable they're being.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOr maybe they are learning to trust their new friend. That is the thing about the finding place of poetry. It gives voice to the small, the dented, the gagged - the children perhaps intuitively recognising that that which gives you your voice helps you become. On countless occasions I have observed children, irrespective of social background or ethnicity, making friends with poetry, their expansive, pristine finding place where razzle-dazzle language becomes, to quote Jeanette Winterson again, 'a string of guiding lights'. Where you can make up your own jokes and gleefully mix words together like 'marzipan chapati' and invent whistling butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs to what can be gained from \u003cem\u003ePoetry Emotion \u003c\/em\u003efor an adult?

I was so bowled over, I immediately asked him to write regularly for the television worship programme on which I was, at that time, Series Producer for BBC1. I had been looking for a long time for someone who could speak to a general audience, of all faiths and none, about beliefs, spiritual expression and the joys and sorrows of some of life's most profound experiences, in a way that had the capacity to engage naturally and touch deeply.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStewart knew exactly where to start and, with consummate skill and the unmistakable voice of authenticity, he took the audience on a very special journey. This collection of poems has, I believe, the same quality of travel. I read them, delighted but not surprised by their range and honesty. I could picture him in my mind's eye at one of his regular visits to the Greenbelt festival, holding a roomful of children spellbound, making them gasp with anticipation or having them squeal and laugh in a magical connection with young hearts and minds. He makes it look effortless. Don't be fooled. Writing and communicating as beautifully and naturally as this is a rare and wonderful thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristine Morgan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHead of Radio, BBC Religion \u0026amp; Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEndorsements\u003c\/h5\u003e\nPoetry speaks in as many voices as there are people to read it, conveying everything from complex ideas to simple truths.

The Sunday Times has described his children's poetry as 'essential reading'. Stewart's verse is set for both GCSE and Key Stage 2\/P4 - 7 in primary schools in the UK and their equivalent on the Republic of Ireland curriculum. As a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 4, Stewart has presented Questions, Questions for the last nine years. Stewart has also presented and contributed to some of Radio 4's 'crown jewels' such as From Our Own Correspondent, Pick of the Week, Broadcasting House, Something Understood, Saturday Live and PM.\n\u003ch5\u003eMedia reviews\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom REtoday - Spring 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, intended for use with children aged 7-11, contains poems on a variety of themes linked to social and emotional values.

This is surely a theme which is as relevant to PSHCE as RE.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach section is split into topics. In 'Barnabas RE Day Themes' these include 'Whose world?', and 'What's so special about the Bible?' The 'General Themes' include 'Going for goals!' and 'Saying 'no' to bullying'. 'Emotional Skills' include 'Self-awareness' and 'Motivation'. A general introduction to each theme explains the personal skills the poems are designed to help develop, while a more specific introduction to each topic gives some background to the poems and suggestions for their use. Stewart Henderson makes it clear that the teacher will know how best to use each poem with any particular set of children and their particular context.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere are poems about the death of a pet, visits, school life and friendship - themes which the majority of children will relate to.
