This assembly uses clips from Hoppers to help pupils explore what it means to belong and why knowing people’s names matters. Through the story of Mabel entering a new community, pupils are encouraged to reflect on how they can help others feel welcome. The assembly links this to the Bible, where Christians believe that God knows each person by name and values them.
This assembly uses clips from Hoppers to explore why rules exist and why they matter in different environments. Through the story of Mabel entering a new community, pupils will be encouraged to reflect on how rules can feel restrictive but are often necessary and to introduce the idea that different communities may need different rules. They will also be encouraged to recognise that rules help keep people safe, create fairness, and enable communities to live well together. This assembly links this to the Bible, where Christians believe rules are part of how God guides people to live well with one another.
