At Biggin C of E Primary, we use Picture News to help our children make sense of the world around them in a safe, engaging, and age-appropriate way. As an educational current affairs resource created by teachers and education consultants, Picture News transforms real-world events into meaningful learning opportunities that encourage discussion, critical thinking, and pupil voice. We recognise that children are often exposed to news stories that may leave them feeling curious or confused, and Picture News provides a supportive framework to explore these topics with confidence and sensitivity. By bringing current affairs into the classroom, we help our pupils develop a greater understanding of the world, build empathy, and become informed, thoughtful, and active citizens.
