For many across the UK, primary school memories are a potent mix of playground games, school dinners, and the communal singing of hymns during morning assembly.
A Wave of Nostalgia for Assembly Classics
As we grow older, reflections on those carefree days often bring a smile. The memory of sitting cross-legged on a hard hall floor, with a projector screen unfurled for the lyrics, is a shared experience for generations.
Another powerful wave of nostalgia hits when you recall the hymns you belted out with gusto alongside your classmates. From 'From The Tiny Ant' to other timeless classics, these songs were the soundtrack to countless school weeks.
Putting Your Memory to the Test
Eager to challenge that memory, BirminghamLive has created a fun quiz to see how many of these assembly favourites you can still remember. The quiz, featuring seven questions, was published on 26 December 2025 by Senior Reporter Kelly Ashmore.
It poses questions like identifying which animal follows the snake in the hymn 'From The Tiny Ant', with options including Elephant, Kangaroo, Great White Shark, and Singing Lark.

Once you've completed the quiz, why not encourage a bit of healthy competition? You can challenge your friends to beat your score and share your results on social media.
