Cut your workload with this Back to School Assembly Powerpoint. 20 fully editable slides welcoming students back to school. Each slide has an eye catching image and emphasises the important points that children should consider as they set off on what will hopefully be another successful year.
Slides highlight the following areas.
The need for balance in life
Friendship
Hard work
Being kind
Engaging in lessons
Supporting each other
Asking for help … and more.
This resource is fully editable because, let’s be honest, the chances of designing an assembly Powerpoint that absolutely hits everything you want to say are quite remote.

Cut your workload for the first week back with these fully editable printable activities for form time. These resources encourage students to consider their friendships and the difference between positive and negative relationships. Ideal for Yr 6, 7, 8 and 9.

COLORING ACTIVITIES. Many children and adults suffer from stress and anxiety at times. An over busy brain makes it difficult to concentrate on tasks and the feelings associated with anxiety can cause distress and further anxiety. Recent research suggests that activities which focus the mind without being overly taxing can help break the cycle of worry and anxiety and can help calm the busy mind.
One such activity is coloring. This resource provides 40 original hand drawn kaleidoscopic images. The repetitive nature of the patterns is intentional, encouraging the individual to settle into a calming routine. Drawings range in complexity, making it a suitable resource for all age groups, including adults.
I hope that enjoyment and a sense of calm can be found by using this resource.
