3 minutes that will give you a lift before the end of the week. Wise words from children and young people in a variety of contexts across the country.

"When you grow up in your area, you know your story and you know the stories of the people around you, but you don't know the stories of people who've had completely different upbringings. Knowing those stories puts everything into perspective."

"The realisation that everyone has their own story, and everyone has their own life just as complex as your own."

"It helped structure this idea of common humanity, between all of us. This idea of connectedness and diversity across the world. I think this is crucial for young people's education"

"In his religion, they didn't allow gay people, they weren't that fond of it. But, they accepted him, and I think it's a really good message that says: no matter who you are, you can be yourself and be with everyone."

These brilliant 6-18 year olds know what is important. Please turn your audio on and listen to their wise words.

Everyone can cry about “Varsenal” all they want, but this was one of the most scandalous red cards I’ve ever seen and all people said was “get on with it”

Dear Atsuko and Ryan. I hope you are both well. We had this random encounter in a London restaurant once. I have a small request that would mean the world to me. I’ve been living with stage 4 cancer for 3.5 years and am currently raising money for treatment. I would be eternally grateful if you could watch this video and consider sharing on social media, Instagram in particular (my handle is @stage4optimist).

Thank you for considering this 🌻

[Serdar Ferit @SerdarFerit]

I've made a lot of films and videos in my life. This was the hardest one.

I invite you to take four minutes to watch it and consider sharing, ideally with a few words of your own.

More details about the treatment and campaign can be found on the GoFundMe page: https://t.co/8JDfB5AugN

During Monday morning's assembly we used @LyftaEd and went to Turkey and explored a story called Dog's Best Friend! It told us all about a man who gives up his time to look after over 500 dogs and feed them! It shows us that even if we do one small thing we can make a difference.
