This assembly is 7 pages long and incorporates 22 parts, though there’s enough scope for more narrators to be added in or for children to only have one part as opposed to two.
I like my assemblies to be funny, hence the large amount of humour added in!
There’s audience participation etc.
Any questions, please let me know!

Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on Matilda by Roald Dahl.
UK and US versions included
In this book review, children are asked to summarise the main parts of the story, give their opinion on the story as a whole, state the funniest, scariest and favourite parts, rate the story from 1-5, explain if they would recommend the book, and discuss who their favourite and least favorite characters were.
This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are.
Included in this download:
UK and US versions of PDF and Word documents
PDF version of the book review
.docx Word document version of the book review for editing purposes
‘Lost in Chalk’ font to help you edit the resource and keep the style
