News and Views is a collection of ready-to-use primary assemblies for whole-school assemblies, class assemblies, PSHE, oracy and classroom discussion. Each assembly takes a current story, real-world issue or big question and gives you everything you need to explore it with pupils, including launchable slides, discussion and debate opportunities, voting, teacher guidance and follow-up activities.
