This assembly starts with some nice optical illusions which leads on to the concept of perception. It then looks at various stereotypes in school such as Jocks, Class Clown etc and looks at the qualities of each, and asks students how they would like their peers to perceive them. It then looks at how future education or employment would perceive them looking at the information the school would provide them with - Attendance, behavior points, achievement points, GCSE's and the qualities these would show if they were good. It also considers social media and how students should be aware of what they post now could be seen by future employers. The last few slides are to be filled in by me as they are specific to my school where I will be going over the best attendance, behaviour etc in the past month to hand out a reward. This assembly lasts 15 minutes Save yourself an afternoon planning and grab a bargain. Thanks for looking.

This assembly worked really well, opening with a slide asking if students believed in Karma. It then goes on through various consequences of actions and how scientifically the teen brain is not always capable of thinking about long term consequences, but that students still have to take responsibility for their action. It lasted 15 minutes and was received well. Grab yourself a bargain and save yourself an afternoon of planning. Enjoy

This assembly grabs the students attention with the first slide asking them to vote whether or not school should start at 10am instead of 8.50. The assembly goes on to look at the arguments for and against and the current research that is going on in the uk at the moment with 100 test school. I went on to tell them that unfortunately we haven't been selected for the trial but its findings could impact us. I then went on to say that until then they should take note of the sleep scientists top tips for a good night sleep which includes the science of blue light from mobile phone screens and its effect on the sleep hormone melatonin. This powerpoint lasts around 15minutes. Enjoy.

This assembly has a focus on the RAOK challenge - random acts of kindness and is planned to be around 15 minutes long. I played the video at the start to keep the students engaged as they entered and it worked really well. Half way through there is another video where people are asked if one person can change the world. My head boy and girl then took over reading a script provided, telling the story of a "RAOK" movement called the karma army (this could quite easily be done by yourself). The assembly concludes with ways in which the students can carry out random acts of kindness and also looking at school charities. Hope this is useful and saves you some time.

I used this assembly as an introduction to a new whole school drive on improving students numeracy through a tutor time activity called the maths Olympics. The assembly starts with a video which shows photos of a boy from birth to 11. The students were mesmerised by it and it meant they all came in nice and calmly. The assembly looks at the number of days and hours students have been alive and what they have done with their time and focuses on the importance of having a growth mind set to make the most of their time. The assembly lasts around 15 minutes and worked really well. Enjoy

Entire KS3 scheme of work with level assessed task and end of unit test with markscheme and levels. Created around the new KS3 national curriculum framework it encompasses powerpoint based lessons and associated worksheets, homework and assessments Each lesson includes a requisition list for lab techs and where it is not obvious foot notes have been created. Each lesson has been planned to last between 50-60 minutes and includes differentiated outcomes and activities I taught this to my year 7s and it worked really well but also allowed me to make a few tweaks that you can now benefit from. All in all it took me about 20 hours to create during my summer holidays so save yourself some time and grab yourself a bargain! Lesson 1 - A lesson with practical identifying what insulators and conductors are and also what electricity actually is Lesson 2 - A lesson with a practical building simple circuits and drawing circuit diagrams with the correct symbols Lesson 3 - Introduction lesson with human modeling of what potential difference and current actually are measurements of Lesson 4 - Building on potential difference and current from previous lesson Lesson 5 - Practical lesson investigating voltage and current in a series circuit human modeling included to explain any changes Lesson 6 - Practical lesson investigating voltage in a parallel circuit Lesson 7 - Practical lesson investigating current in a parallel circuit Lesson 8 - Investigating what resistance is with human modeling Lesson 9 - Practical lesson investigating what materials are magnetic and how permanent and non-permanent magnets work with introduction to magnetic domains Lesson 10 - Practical investigating magnetic field lines Lesson 11 - Practical building and strengthening electromagnets Lesson 12 - Level assessed task on electromagnets

This resource includes 4 powerpoint based lessons with worksheets integrated into the powerpoint so you can print them off easily. I have created it based on the new national curriculum framework which appears to be bringing a lot of content down from the KS4 curriculum. This is followed by a fifth assessment based lesson where students complete a level assessed task. Each powerpoint contains footnotes to explain what should be done if it is not obvious. Each powerpoint is planned to take between 50 and 60 minutes and includes plenty of student lead learning and many opportunities for assessing student learning throughout the lessons. Thank you for looking.
