Louise White asks whether the word religion should be removed from school assemblies and whether there should always be winners and losers in school sports.

Calls are being made for a "symbolic change" to the description of religious assemblies in some schools.
The Church of Scotland and the Scottish Humanist Society are to tell MSPs the title "religious observance" in non-denominational schools is outdated.
They said changing the legal definition to "time for reflection" could ease the concerns of parents who withdraw their children from such events.
Louise asks: Should the word 'religion' be removed from school assemblies?

Teams will also be mixed ability and must be weakened if winning too easily.
