Ripon Cathedral
Jamia Mosque
Virtual Jerusalem

Ripon's virtual tour is an attractive and pupil friendly presentation, which provides a great deal of relevant information along with clearly labelled diagrams. A booking form and warm welcome is included for an 'actual' visit.

Target Audience:
Key Stages 2/3/4

Based on the Jamia Mosque in Derby, this page offers many pages and graphics on being a Muslim, and the inside/outside of a mosque. Plenty of inspiration here for primary schools to develop their own web site.

Target Audience:
Key Stages 1/2

This site uses Viscape to present aspects of the 3000 year old city of Jerusalem. Visit the Wailing Wall and write a prayer, which will be placed in the virtual wall.

The link to Viscape viewer on the site doesn't work. Neil White recommends this alternative. Click here.

Virtual Synagogue
Western Wall, Jerusalem
Hajj : Step by Step Guide

An extensive and clearly set out site which covers most aspects of a synagogue in easy to understand language. Plenty of scope for imaginative and creative task setting. Key word lists and a good range of graphics and photographs.

Target Audience:
Key Stages 1/2/3/4

A web site not to be missed! Many aspects of Judaism are covered here, but the site's main attractions are the virtual visit to the tunnels by the Western Wall, the opportunity to place prayers in the 'virtual wall', and to watch webcam images live from the wall itself.

Target Audience:
Key Stages 1/2/3/4/5

Islamicity provides a wealth of resources for the study of the Hajj. Resist the temptation of asking pupils to give an account of the journey themselves and rather set tasks which ask them to concentrate on the nature of the experience and its value to the individual so that they really have to interact with and interrogate the resources

Target Audience:
K ey Stages 2/3/4/6
