HOUSE ASSEMBLY What is a hero?
WHAT MAKES A HERO? • What exactly makes a person a hero? • Is it bravery, being fearless when others run away? • Is it putting the needs of others before your own? • Is it being prepared to risk your own safety for others?
THINK ABOUT….. • James Bond, created by Ian Fleming. Bond was based on real people that Fleming had worked with in World War 2. This is a picture of the real James Bond.
IMAGINARY HEROES • Doctor Who, he first appeared about 45 years ago. • Since then he has helped many people across time and space. • He tries to avoid violence and show respect for life.
THINK ABOUT……. • Famous footballers, are they heroes when they score vital goals? • That can depend on which team you support!!!!
Can we all be a Hero? • Perhaps we can all be heroes if we choose not to be selfish and live in a way that helps others. Have a look at the following clip • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhk4N9A0oCA
TRAINED FOR BATTLE???? • Heroes don’t have to be trained to fight battles. • Heroes can be people who have stood up for a cause. • Heroes can be people who have tried to make the world a better place.
FAMOUS????? • Heroes don’t have to be well known. • Heroes can be found in the streets we live on. • Heroes make sure that their families and communities have the care they need. • Heroes make sure that people feel secure.
ANY HEROES HERE???? • Who knows????? • You may be sitting next to a hero. • People in this room could be quiet heroes who get on with their lives. • They may help others. • They may have problems that make them a hero every time they get through another day.
NOT ALL HEROES….. • Not all heroes wear their undies over their trousers!!!!!! • Not all heroes can kill foreign agents!!!!! • Not all heroes can save the planet!!!!! • Not all heroes earn over £100,000 a week!!!!
TRUE HEROES • Help others. • Don’t look for a reward for their actions. • Don’t tell everyone what they have done. • Are quite often anonymous. • Are embarrassed when brought to the attention of the public.
CAN WE ALL BE HEROES? • We need to learn how to help others by understanding them and their needs. • We must focus less on our own needs. • We must realise what our own strengths and weaknesses are. • We must be prepared to see a thing through and give up our time for others.
SUMMARY • Heroes are ordinary people. • Ordinary people do extraordinary things to become heroes. • An extraordinary thing does not have to be life changing. • It can be anything that takes courage and determination. • It can be something that only you know about.
REFLECTION • Do you know any heroes? • Are you a hero? • Have you done anything that you feel proud of? • A small action can make you a hero. • Think about things you have already done that you now feel make you a hero.
