Inspire your class to care for the world around them with this engaging, interactive and curriculum-linked KS1 geography assembly.

When a group of Year 1 and Year 2 children notices that their school garden, playground and local park aren’t looking as healthy as they should, they set out on a mission to make a difference. Along the way, they meet a cast of fun environmental characters who teach them about recycling, saving water and energy, protecting plants and wildlife, and how even the smallest actions can have a big impact. Together, they discover that everyone has a role to play in caring for our environment.

Designed specifically for Key Stage 1, this ready-to-perform assembly combines exciting storytelling with practical geographical learning, encouraging children to become responsible, environmentally conscious citizens through simple everyday actions.
