Responsibility School Assembly - KS1 & KS2

The slide show covers what responsible behaviour is and who is responsible in key areas of a child’s life including at home and school. The slides provoke thoughtful discussion on what life would be like if everyone was irresponsible. There are also a couple of slides on being a responsible citizen.  

This unit also includes a short story which is about a little girl who takes her small responsibility every seriously and is praised and rewarded as a result.
