Assembly script suitable for Year 5 to 7

This document is a script for an assembly performed by a joint Year 5/6 class, but certainly suitable for slightly younger or older children. Enough parts for a group of between 15 - 35 children.

It looks at

• What it means to be “great” or have a “great” life and the meaning of “greatness”.
• Careers in which the pupils want to achieve great things (eg acting, science, sport)
• Famous people, such as Mother Theresa and Einstein, and why they are considered to be great
• People who are close to us that make our lives “great”
• Some favourite inspirational quotes
• A simple prayer
• Links to songs about the theme of greatness

Can easily be adapted to suit the aims, aspirations and interests of the children in any class.
