Implementation
Children participate in a weekly DREAMS assembly which focuses on a core value or safety theme. Children then complete a follow-up task in their classrooms, linked to developing age appropriate key skills and knowledge. Picture books are used as a stimulus for many lessons, as a way to generate whole class, small group and paired discussions.
