Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts. It has 12 narrators and 18 acting parts involving a lot of mime or dance. The script is extremely adaptable and funny. The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly and would be most suitable for year 3/P4 and anything right through secondary school. If you wanted to adapt it for a younger class I would recommend giving the narrators the words to read on cards rather than learning them off.

A great assembly all about space, aimed at ks2 or upper ks1. It contains 2 songs and a dance with youtube links. Printable S-P-A-C-E lettering for the children to hold up in assembly. There is also an optional powerpoint, just add pictures of your kids or their artwork of the planets. Enjoy, this is such a fun assembly which the kids and audience will LOVE!

This is a fun Vikings assembly from year 2 to 6. It has 2 songs with youtube links and one link to a Viking thunder clap which is very simple and my kids loved learning. It covers Viking weapons, clothing and Gods. I also put some costume suggestions at the back of the script which would definitely cover a couple of art and dt lessons too. There are so many opportunities for fun acting and miming in this script too depending on the ability of your class. Hope you enjoy it!

Assembly script based on a trip to space introducing the sun and the planets to the rest of the school. The script teaches some facts on each planet and their order from the sun. It has 15 speaking parts but is easily adjustable to share out the lines and add more. It contains one song, lyrics, links to lots of sound effects and a list of costume suggestions. This a really fun assembly to watch and act out full of laughs and facts. Hope it saves you some time :)

A KS1 assembly retelling the story of ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ by Giles Andreae. One pupil acts as the narrator (thouh this can easily by edited to add more narrators), then there are 6 other speaking parts. Every other child will wear an animal mask and perform in a short dance. The assembly includes full script, ideas to encourage audience participation and links to 6 songs and actions. I also used these dances to inform my PE lessons, the children loved this. This is a FUN assembly for an active class and welcome break to memorizing lines. Enjoy :)

Assembly script looking at the culture and facts of Kenya with song lyrics and youtube links for each song. Appropriate for y2 - y6.

Assembly all about the romans, involves a lot of acting and has a line for each child. My year 3 class really enjoyed this and the whole school were interested in Romans the rest of the week. Approriate for y2-y6! Enjoy :)

KS2 focused assembly about sound. It teaches children about sound waves, the ear structure, pitch and percusion songs. It is a very informative assembly but with lots of humour, practical illustrations and one percussion song for the children to perform. There are speaking parts for 30 children varying in length and ability and links to sounds and visuals at the bottom of the assembly. Science topics should definitely be used more as assembly subjects! Enjoy!

Class assembly/play script including song lyrics and links to songs/dance on youtube. The script has a literacy link of fairytales, IPC theme of castles and introduces the idea of inner beauty for PSHE. It is a comedy version of Sleeping Beauty, appropriate for year 2 to year 6. My friend borrowed this for her y6 leavers assembly and they loved it!

Such a fun lesson! As art of teaching microhabitats my class and I created one large bug hotel in our garden area, it could also be done in any forest area nearby, but the closer the better as you can visit and investigate the bugs and which environment they’re most drawn too. Included is a brief powerpoint encouraging the children with ideas of what it may look like and natural environments for different types of insects. I would send the parental letter out a week or two before so they can help out with the items needed. Enjoy!

This includes a lesson graded ‘outstanding’ during our school Ofsted visit and is aimed at Nursery or Reception children. It includes a detailed lesson plan with youtube links and instructions on how to link table top activities to the theme. The lesson details Teaching Standards it meets and strands such as ‘understanding the world’ in the EYFS. The carpet activity is 2 children at a time (completed over 2-3 days). Play dough, straw and Lego bricks. Try and build a structure and test which is strongest. Use hairdryer to illustrate effect of wind and blowing. (In line with weather theme of the week). This will also clarify tomorrows story ‘The 3 little pigs’, and help them understand why two of the pigs houses have blown down. The story will be a theme during the whole week and presented differently each day to try and reach all types of learners and needs required by the pupils. Individual assessment conducted as activity occurs. Top tip, be sure to pause and narrate/ask questions during youtube clips so children are forced to think more. Enjoy!

This Julia Donaldson Assembly is appropriate for year2-year6/p3-p7. It involves a lot of dressing up as famous book characters and three songs. It was a lot of fun doing this assembly and encouraged not only my class but the whole school to love and desire to read Julia Donalson books. It also has links to these songs, lyrics, actions and a some costume suggestions. Enjoy!

An assembly explaining phonics in a fun way. The aim is to have one class educate other classes or even parents on the basics of phonics. It briefly explains: phonemes, digraphs, trigraphs, blending and has some practical rhymes, songs and games to help demonstrate these. It was written with year 2/3 in mind but can easily be adapted to work for any class above year 1. I would also suggest this a whole school assembly with staff acting it out for parents/children. I still meet parents who’s children have made it to year 6 and have not understood the basics of phonics or why it’s used within school. I highly recommend taking time to educate parents in phonics so they feel like they can help with homework etc. Hope this saves you time :)

Simple y2 targets, I send these home with parents at the start of the year and also circle two from each column during parent's evenings for parents to work on at home. I stick a copy of each at the from of my children's books at the start of the year so they know my expectations for them by the end. In order to track their targets we highlight each box as s the achieve it, you can also stick a star on it and date it each time you are aware the target has been achieved. This has made my life so much easier!

A rhyming assembly script about a little boy who keeps making mistakes in poetry. The script takes the boy into poetry land and explains what some poetic terms mean and allows the children to perform some poetry/songs. Poems are included at the end of the script.

Assembly script about the history of the Olympics and a brief history of Eric Liddell's story. The script is appropriate for year 1 to 6.

Example of write up and the evidence I used to show I had met each teaching standard while completing my teacher training. Great to use for ideas while for your teacher training or performance management targets.

In fact there are 2 slightly different version of the traditional stations of the cross assembly celebrated in church school. This includes a powerpoint, reflections and responses for those in the assembly. Hope it saves you some time!

Differentiated writing task on what role you want to have when you grow up. I've used this as a homework, literacy and IPC task. A great into for a new class or for an intro into a topic about different jobs.
