Notes : Use clip as stimulus for class discussion - how do pupils view the policeman? How do pupils view the Muslim faith in general? Would they find this unusual in their community? Why not? Look at differences between rural and urban Wales ( this policeman works on Anglesey). Discuss the tenets of the Muslim faith - pupils can investigate other facets of the faith. Introduce pupils to the Quoran.
