Transform your primary school assemblies with current affairs!

Each week, we create ready-made teaching resources based on a current news story, used by over 5000 schools for assemblies, classroom discussions and displays!
The resources focus on a poster with an engaging image and open-ended question, alongside teaching resources for KS1 and KS2. The packs can be used flexibly across school, and make cross-curricular links whilst helping embed British Values, Protected Characteristics and the UN Rights of the Child.
Discussing the news encourages children to grow their global awareness, develop empathy for others, and use their voice for issues they care about.
“Picture News provides a great opportunity to discuss current affairs in a safe space. We love the vocabulary provided as it supports our pupils to articulate how they are feeling. We also use Picture News during our thinking skills work time to kick off our days with some lively discussion. The spotlight on the British Value linked to the issue is incredibly useful.”
