Who Questions – People in the Community
Introducing Who Questions – People in the Community from Little Learners Hub, a targeted resource designed to help children practice answering “who” questions using real-life images of community professions such as a dentist, firefighter, and hairdresser.
In this activity, children are asked questions like “Who would you call to put out a fire?” and are prompted to:
Point to the correct image of the community figure that matches the question.
Verbally respond with the name of the profession, such as “firefighter.”
This resource encourages both visual and verbal interaction, helping children build confidence in identifying people in the community and responding to questions. It’s an excellent tool for fostering language development and comprehension in young learners or those needing extra support.
Black History Month 2026 Assembly | Honouring Our Communities
Celebrate Black History Month 2026 with this complete whole-school assembly resource based on the theme Honouring Our Communities.
This professionally designed assembly explores Black British history, community, contribution, recognition and the people whose actions help shape and strengthen society. Pupils are encouraged to look beyond fame and consider why everyday service, leadership, creativity, courage and commitment also deserve to be recognised.
The assembly introduces Black History Month before exploring the idea that Black history is part of British history. Pupils encounter figures including John Blanke, Mary Seacole, Walter Tull and Claudia Jones before considering the Black people who continue to contribute to communities across Britain today.
Throughout the assembly, carefully structured questions encourage pupils to think more deeply about whose stories are remembered, why some contributions receive greater recognition than others, and whether somebody needs to be famous to make a meaningful difference.
The resource concludes with a clear whole-school challenge based around three ideas:
NOTICE who contributes.
LEARN the stories behind those contributions.
RECOGNISE why they matter.
This resource includes:
• Full Black History Month 2026 assembly PowerPoint
• Approximately 28 professionally designed slides
• Complete 20–25 minute assembly script
• Teacher guidance and delivery support
• Community Honour follow-up activity
• Community Honour nomination task
• Pupil reflection opportunities
• Tutor-time discussion prompts
• Whole-school follow-up challenge
• Key vocabulary and discussion questions
• Opportunities for KS2, KS3 and KS4 adaptation
Topics explored include:
• Black History Month
• Honouring Our Communities
• Black British history
• John Blanke
• Mary Seacole
• Walter Tull
• Claudia Jones
• community and belonging
• contribution and service
• leadership and courage
• recognition and representation
• famous and less-visible contributions
• modern Black British communities
• individual and collective impact
The assembly has been designed to move beyond a simple collection of famous biographies. Instead, pupils are encouraged to consider what contribution actually means and recognise that history is also shaped by teachers, healthcare workers, volunteers, artists, coaches, carers, leaders, organisers and other people whose work may never make national headlines.

Social and Community Studies - Gender and Identity - LGBTQIA+ peoples
Part of a set of resources created for a senior Social & Community studies class in Australia (QCAA syllabus). The other resources are also available in my store - Aussie_Resources. Designed for use in 70 minute lessons. The end of term assessment for this unit was a 90 minute short response examination.
A lesson designed to teach students about groups which have been marginalised in the past (LGBTQIA+) and the importance of inclusivity. It begins with a discussion of whether students have seen television show Queer Eye and why it is important for marginalised groups to have representation in the media. Following this students are introduced to groups outside of the outdated ‘gender binary’ (e.g. androgynous, gender fluid / gender queer, transgender etc.) and to theconcept of gender dysphoria / gender nonconformity. Students are to take notes and engage in discussions of visual stimulus and clips (including some from the reboot of Will and Grace.) This lesson also introduces students to the various types of sexuality (Asexual, bisexual, pansexual, homosexual and heterosexual). Teach students about the importance of respecting people’s preferred pronouns. The second part of the lesson is skills based where students are introduced to one type of question from their upcoming exam.They must make inferences about someone based on their appearance + information about occupation (job) and personal interests. We talk through an ‘I do’ where my answers have been colour coded to show where I have provided evidence / addressed different aspects of the question. Following this, students have to do their own.
