Pathways assembly resource

This resource outlines an assembly for first, second and third levels around choices and consequences. Pathways and associated choices become increasingly evident as children grow from 5 to 11 years. Recognising pathways, the choices presented and their consequences is of particular relevance in the upper primary and teenage years, but merits consideration throughout our lives. Children will recognise that each of us is on a journey through life, that some choices will lead to specific pathways, and that some pathways lead to people having to make hard choices.
