Assembly

Today’s assembly is from NSPCC. It is hosted by Ant and Dec and is about supporting children with their worries, giving them trusted adults to talk to and also introducing them to Childline as an additional option for support. Trusted adults may direct the children to Childline to give them an extra adult to speak to, or it may be that there is something the child feels they cannot tell anyone else, for whatever reason.

The first link is a short introduction from me, then the second link takes you to the YouTube video. There is advice on how to access the YouTube video in the comments section of the introduction video.

From the website:

‘We’re offering a weekly on-line dance programme for children in school and at home. The project offers an original piece of choreography shared over four weekly sessions, which can be learnt at a time and location to suit you and your children. And to boot your children can be filmed and form part of a dance film at the end of the project, should they wish, but don’t worry if they don’t, it is optional. We’re working with 2 professional dance artists to choreograph the dance piece so that it is suitable for different ages.’
