Celebrating Differences Assembly!
<p>This fun and original assembly aims to assist children in celebrating the differences between themselves and others, through:<br />
-Understanding how diversity is needed in the world;<br />
-Recognising and valuing the differences in their own school;<br />
-Considering how kind words can help us to unite together.</p>
<p>I love leading this assembly, because I feel that the key message within it is so vital, especially in the present climate. More importantly, wherever I have presented this (to a wide-range of students from a wide-range of contexts) it has always gone down extremely well, with students being extremely engaged and informing me of the different ways in which they have celebrated differences in the months that follow!</p>
<p>The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people. For example, there are references to Prince Harry, Emma Watson, and others in popular culture, to help engage the children in the idea that each individual has their own strengths, weaknesses, like and dislikes, no matter who they are or how successful they appear.</p>
<p>There is also an exciting ‘toothpaste challenge’ included, which demonstrates the importance of ensuring that our words to others are kind and respectful. The challenge includes a hyperlink to a countdown clock. In addition to this, all other resources that you will need are provided in the pack.</p>
<p>The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!</p>
