x2 THANKFULNESS Assemblies / Collective Worships

These two thankfulness assemblies are a fantastic way to introduce children to the value of thankfulness and how to show gratitude.

You could use these for a primary school, KS1 only, KS2 only or in class.

You will receive a 12-slide PowerPoint, a 14-slide PowerPoint, a PDF file containing teacher notes for each presentation, two leaf templates and an example gratitude tree display.

This assembly is interactive and involves the children to make sure they are engaged and interested.

There is also a Christian prayer at the end of the first PowerPoint for those who have collective worship.
