We are Golden and we SPARKLE
Picture News!
At Glade Hill we use a resource across our school called 'Picture News' as part of our promotion of British Value. This resource aims to help children learn from the World around us, develop children's knowledge of the world and current events, alongside developing their oracy and discussion skills.
Each week the children have a child-friendly image shared with them, in class or in an assembly, and have opportunities to discuss the 'Picture News' with their classmates and teachers.
Past themes have included images of the floods around the world, toys that reflect our diverse culture and about trusting what we see online. Please see examples of the resources on the Picture News website: Teaching Resources for Assemblies | Picture News
Key questions for discussion in class and assembly have included 'Can you ever trust what you see online?', 'Can animals provide the same support as our friends?' and 'Should children be allowed to earn money from creating and sharing videos?'
Each theme and picture is clearly linked to a 'British Value' which includes 'Individual Liberty', 'Mutual Respect and Tolerance', 'Democracy' and 'The Rule of Law'.
The children really enjoy discussing the different images and are continuing to improve on their ability to share their ideas with others, a key life skill.
We can't wait to see how much they will benefit from this in the future!
Although we are not allowed to share examples of the resource on our website, you can see the resources by asking in the school office.
