An assembly designed for late Key Stage 2 and early Key Stage 3, though easily adaptable for other age groups.
This assembly presents The Parable of the Long Spoons—a thought-provoking story that powerfully illustrates how the difference between heaven and hell lies not in our surroundings, but in how we treat one another. At its heart is a timeless message about kindness, cooperation, and the value of supporting others.
To bring this message vividly to life, the assembly features a memorable, hands-on demonstration:
Students are challenged to eat from a shared plate of food using utensils fixed to the end of 1-meter rulers. While feeding themselves proves impossible, they soon discover that they can feed each other—mirroring the lesson of the parable through action and shared experience.
The assembly is enriched with impactful images designed to spark reflection and inspire thoughtful discussion among students long after it ends.
