Best friends Tizzy and Kezia have been joined at the hip for longer than they can remember.

All is resolved quickly and Tizzy and Kezia are inseparable once more but they have learned that they are allowed to be different, and to make their own choices.

King Nincompoop Goes Green
In this light-hearted primary school assembly story, King Nincompoop attempts to persuade his Palace Court to "Go Green"… literally. He has misinterpreted the famous slogan, and after deciding to adorn himself completely in the colour green he asks for his followers to mimic him. His idea is met with much scorn from the citizens of Nincompoopia, who are both amused and embarrassed for him. Rather than anyone pointing out the flaw, the King’s Subjects stand around and tittle-tattle. All but one, that is. A small boy named Timothy summons all his courage and every shred of advice he knows in order to help King Nincompoop understand that there are alternative routes that he can embark upon in order to successfully establish his Kingdom as eco-friendly. King Nincompoop is receptive to this idea and Timothy’s assistance is gratefully accepted, meaning nobody has to paint their lives green, but a step towards saving the planet has been taken. This story about helping others when they make mistakes comes from More Brilliant Assembly Stories, written by Elizabeth Sach and published by Brilliant Publications.

The Witness
This story is taken from More Brilliant Stories for Assemblies, written by Elizabeth Sach and published by Brilliant Publications. Finding courage to speak up about something that is morally wrong is something most adults struggle with, let alone primary school children! In this tale, poor Ranpresh is a recurring victim of “The Gang” of bullies at his school and he is too afraid of the repercussions of telling the truth about his repeated injuries/sickness. When his classmate Hannah notices what is going on, she too is conflicted, however she is so fuelled by her anger towards the unjust situation that she marches to the Headteacher and reports the bullies before the problem can get any worse.
