The assembly starts by explaining what looking forward means in terms of focusing on the future and being open to change. It then looks at new beginnings and offers some examples (e.g. new school year) The assembly then looks at the challenges involved in a new beginning and how they can be overcome. There are then three examples of people who have faced and overcome a new beginning- Serena Williams, Maya Angelou and Benjamin Pritchard The assembly closes with some final thoughts about the inevitability of change and how to grab it The final slide is a quote from Doc Brown from Back to the Future regarding how the future isn’t written yet

An assembly on the background, discoveries and legacy of four British scientists- one each from the 17th to the 20th Century. Includes lots of images. It discusses that much of the science we still hold to today is built upon the discoveries that each made. The assembly closes by pointing out some of the discoveries that have been made since the year 2000. It also points out that we don’t know yet who will be the most significant scientists of the 21st century- it could be one of the audience. This is a good way of raising British values and the impact of Britain on the culture of the world. It is suitable to advertise British science week but can be used at any time.
