It is always wonderful to see our children sitting facing me in assembly, to hear them talk about what images they can see on the screen or the music they can hear. It is great to see them make connections and share ideas about what the assembly focus is. This week, they watched a short movie, ‘For the birds’.

This video brilliantly illustrates how hard it can be to fit into a new group of friends – especially if you are a little bit different. This was a great way to stimulate discussion about how we can embrace differences, not use them to discriminate. Everyone in assembly could retell the story with a more positive outcome.

Thank you to Y2 who then designed birds of all different shapes, colours and sizes!
