		Collective Worship
		Four students move forward to begin the collective worship. SPEAKER 1: This morning we are going to see a short video. SPEAKER 2: Then we will ask some questions about it afterwards to find out what you think about what's said in the video. Show the video which lasts about 4 minutes, then play the music as the four students begin addressing the students. SPEAKER 3: Do you have a younger sister or brother? Or a younger cousin or friend's brother or sister? SPEAKER 4: Sometimes little kids can be annoying - pesky little devils. Have you noticed how much they ask questions? SPEAKER 1: Sometimes really stupid questions. SPEAKER 2: That's because they are trying to make sense of the world. SPEAKER 3: They're looking to you for ideas about how the world works and how to behave in it. SPEAKER 4: They're trying to grow. SPEAKER 1: Have you ever pushed a younger kid away from you - couldn't be bothered to deal with their questions? SPEAKER 2: Couldn't you give them a hand up… to help them learn? SPEAKER 3: Let's take a few moments to think back to when you were a kid. SPEAKER 4: What were some of the things that confused you? Can you think of something? The speakers give the gathered students time to think. SPEAKER 1: Think back to when you were about seven or eight years old. SPEAKER 2: Close your eyes if it helps you to concentrate. SPEAKER 3: How did that feel? What can you remember? SPEAKER 4: What confused you when you were about seven or eight? Did you like being confused? SPEAKER 1: Really try to remember what it felt like when you were that age. Do you remember feeling small and everything around you seemed so big? SPEAKER 2: How did you see the world then? SPEAKER 3: Did you ever ask older people for help when you were that young? SPEAKER 4: Did you ever get excited when somebody showed you how to do something new? Remember that? SPEAKER 1: It was a good feeling, wasn't it - when someone took time to help you to learn? SPEAKER 2: Well, here's the good news… that feeling will come back to you again and again because there's never a stage in life when you stop learning. SPEAKER 3: Every day is a new chance to learn something interesting. SPEAKER 4: All you have to do is ask - just like the little kids. Just ask somebody who knows. Ask stupid questions. Be a pesky little devil if you have to. And ask yourself too. It's the only way to grow and make sense of YOUR own world. Think about it.
