This is a set of two cyberbullying assemblies - one for KS1 and one for KS2.

The PowerPoint can be used for a class, year group or whole school assembly, focusing on what cyberbullying is and how children can deal with it. It is an ideal resource for Safer Internet Day.
Alternatively, the PowerPoint can be used in class for a cyberbullying lesson, as there is also an independent task and full planning provided.

This is a fun and engaging quiz that can be used at any time of year. It contains 20 multiple choice questions about some crazy Guinness World Records - they are virtually impossible to know, so it is all about the children guessing and having some fun! It is great to do in small teams as a 'back to school' ice-breaker, as it gets the children talking about some real nonsense...
All answers are included on the PowerPoint, as well as internet links to each record (in case anybody doesn't believe they are real). In addition, the last 2 slides of the PowerPoint contain an optional independent task for the children to try, which involves creating an account of their own imaginary weird world record. There also 2 differentiated writing templates included to support this.
This resource includes:
*25 slide PowerPoint, containing all questions, answers, internet links and outline of optional independent task.
*PDF version of the PowerPoint for printing
*2 differentiated writing templates for the optional independent task
