This is a Great Fire of London assembly with a twist as it is performed during a talent competition! I used this script with Year 2 as a fun take on Britain's Got Talent with performances from: The Pudding Lane drama club reenacting events from the Great Fire, the Red Hot Skipping Crew performing skipping tricks, Flame and Smoke with some fire poetry, Combustion do a fire dance, The Bright Sparks with a counting rap and Luminosity the class choir singing London's Burning - oh and a few surprise appearances from Thomas Farriner!

This assembly which was used with a Year 2 class is based on an episode of Wish You Were Here. Flat Stanley travels around the globe reporting on different countries with help from the people he meets on his travels and the cast back in the studio. It includes singing, dancing (performing the Haka!), speaking in french, Kung Fu punctuation and lots of amazing facts!

Guess the fairy tale from the clues - a great topic starter.

This fun and humorous class assembly, used with a Year 2 class (but very simple so could easily be used with Y1), is based on an episode of Gogglebox and stars lots of well known characters from fairy tales! It covers all areas of the curriculum via the different popular programmes included. Little Red Riding Hood & her Granny and Goldilocks and her bestie Baby Bear enjoy watching ‘The Great British Bake Off’ with Hansel & Gretel’s showstopping Gingerbread house, Jack (& his beanstalk) on ‘Gardener’s World’, the 3 Little Pigs looking for a new home on ‘Location, Location, Location’ & the fairytale baddies dancing to ‘Bad’ on Strictly! A PowerPoint is also included to use as a backdrop if an IWB is available.

This resource can be used to support writing fairytale news.

There are five sample copies of news reports which can be used as WAGOLLs (linked to Little Red Riding Hood, The Gingerbread Man, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Three Little Pigs) & used to identify the features of news reports (I used post-it notes with my class for them to label the parts) and a planning template for children’s own reports. A useful wanted poster template is also included which could be used as an extension activity to help capture the fairytale villains whilst promoting the use of expanded noun phrases. N.b. Publisher & PDF copies included.
