At Loxley CofE Primary School, we use Picture News to bring current events into our classrooms and Collective Worship in a way that is engaging and meaningful. Each week, Picture News provides a striking image and a real-life news story, along with thought-provoking questions. These resources help children explore what is happening in the world and consider how it connects to our Christian values such as community, respect, and hope, as well as British Values like democracy, individual liberty, and mutual respect. Teachers use these prompts for discussion, reflection, and activities across the curriculum, encouraging pupils to think deeply, share opinions, and develop empathy. For example, a recent topic on caring for our planet led to debates about responsibility and fairness, inspiring children to take action to reduce waste. This approach helps children grow as informed, caring individuals who understand their role in making a positive difference in the world.
