Class assembly script
Litter Assembly Script by Mr. Moore
Sofia: Good afternoon and welcome to 3A’s assembly, we shall start by watching a short video!
Sofia: Play
(Sammy walks past singing and dropping litter, Filippo walks in the opposite direction.)
Sofia: Pause! (Sammy freezes) What is wrong with this scene?
Audience: Someone has littered.
Sofia: Let’s see what should have happened.
(Sammy rewinds)
Sofia: Pause, Play!
(Sammy walks past and this time puts his rubbish in the bin)
Liang: 3a is going to talk about a load of old rubbish. By rubbish I mean waste or litter. We say something is rubbish if we throw it away because we don’t want it.
Bea: Who knows what rubbish or litter is?
Caterina: Yes, you’re right. Rubbish can be: sweet papers, crisp packets, empty tins and cans.
Gabriele: Cardboard boxes, food, old newspapers, dead flowers, glass and plastic …… and lots more!
Stefano: Do you drop litter? Do other members of your family? Do you make your litter safer for animals? Do you recycle?
Antonio: Last year we all saw the litter dropped in the playground after break-times. It is important that we put our rubbish in the bins. Some helpful children picked up the litter for us, but we all should have been more responsible for our own waste.
Angelica: When people drop their litter they soon forget about it. We share our neighbourhood with lots of animals, many of which we never see. (show pictures) We need to think of them as well as ourselves.
Jacopo: When you drop a drink can it can trap heads of small animals, and it can trap small animals inside- if water gets in they can drown, jagged edges can cut them.
Sammy: Broken glass can cut, and also can start fires, which put wildlife and farm animals at risk.
Calista: Wood with nails in can cause splinters in feet, and injuries leading to infection and even death.
Giacomo: Plastic bags and balloons can suffocate animals or choke them if they are swallowed.
Nicolas: Fishing lines and hooks can become tangled around animals causing injury and choking, they can also trap an animal.
Alex: These are all sad facts, but by making our litter safe and putting it in the bin, we can help prevent suffering to animals, and make our school and streets much prettier.
Marco: We have made posters to encourage other people not to drop litter and make their rubbish as animal friendly as possible. (show posters)
Tommaso: Don’t forget that litter can attract the wrong kind of animals too, such as rats and pigeons. They can spread germs and diseases.
Andrea: Once our rubbish is collected, most of it is buried in large holes in the ground. We need to cut down on the amount of waste we bury in the ground.
Tazio: There are lots of ways that we can reduce the amount we throw away. We can reduce waste by re-using, and recycling.
Sofia: Let us look through this bag of rubbish. Here is a can of Coke. Cans can be melted and made into new cans. So we can recycle this.
(Andrea holds up the items)
Gabriele: If all the drink cans that people in the world used last year were put end to end, they would probably reach to the moon!
Bea: A glass jar. We can recycle that. Glass bottles and jars can be made into new glass containers. Glass will take 1 million years to rot down, if we just threw it on a dump.
Caterina: A carrier bag. You can recycle these – they take 450 years to rot away if they are thrown on the dump.
Riccardo: An old jumper – this can go to the charity shop to be used again. So can this book.
(Nico puts on the jumper and starts reading the book!)
Liang: A newspaper. Paper can be pulped and made into new paper.
(Filippo shows some different kinds of paper items, cartons, egg boxes etc…)
Angelica: As you can see we can all do our part to keep animals safe, our environment clean and to reduce waste.
Everyone: Think of the animals!!!
Anja: Thank you for watching our assembly.
(Cue applause and Oscar nominations!)
