Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi everyone, I've just found out today that I have to do a whole school assembly on Monday! It's Friday now and I've never done one before so panicking a little! It's not a class one with my kids, just me doing it. The theme for the week is on "Who can I trust?" I am introducing it. A teacher on Tues is doing stranger danger so I don't need to focus on that really. She said I could introduce the word "trust", what does trust mean? etc. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good story book about trust and any other ideas please?x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Big Bad Wolf is Good comes to mind at first, but maybe encouraging children to trust 'wolves' isn't quite what you have in mind - still it might make for some good discussions about who we generally can and cannot trust, so it might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_64 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I guess you could link it to lying and do the boy who cried wolf?? Sorry, not feeling very inspired but I really sympathise with you. You don't have a lot of time to think about it do you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrs Tiggy Winkle Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How about THIS one? I hope the link works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_7172 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 How about doing some trust games? Blindfold someone and their friends lead them round the hall Blindfold someone and get someone else to give them drink of water Blindfold someone and get friends to talk them into a chair (go back two spaces, pot your hand back ... can you feel he chait etc etc) get senior staff memebr to 'catch' another staff memebr when they lean back and fall backwards Questions ... how do you know who to trust? What are the qualities of someone who is trustworthy? Hope this helps pw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_13453 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 You might need to be careful in the playground afterwards for a few days though, with that one as they try it out on each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point ... needs to come with a hefty 'do not try this at home / in the playground warning!' off to squeeze into my hot pants now - anyone got a shoe horn?
