ENVIRONMENT ASSEMBLY - Whole class, KS2

ENVIRONMENT WHOLE CLASS ASSEMBLY

Included in this pack:
A short play
An original poem (PPT slides and a written version)

1. I’m An Eco-Warrior, Get Me Into There!
   This is a play for a class of 30 children and is about four environmental issues: forests, rivers, ice caps and oceans. Each issue is represented in a game show by an Eco-Warrior. Each issue has a rap to perform and a group of Fact Finders. The Fact Finders each have a short paragraph of facts to say.

Every child has the chance to speak, either with scripted dialogue or through the rap. There are scripted dialogue lines for 22 children and the other children are involved in the raps. You could also add more presenters and share the dialogue out between them.

I have included the script as a word document so changes can be made to accommodate more or less speaking parts. Fact Finders can be added to by sharing the dialogue out more, or cut down by giving each Fact Finder more to say. Rappers can also be added to or cut down. One rapper from each environmental issue also has a single line of dialogue.

As well as the whole play I have included the Fact Finder scripts and raps separately for ease of chopping them up, so you don’t have to give everyone the full script.

1. Once Upon a Time There Was a Planet… is a 12 stanza non-rhyming poem about the affects we’re having on the environment. It’s presented as a 13 slide power point presentation, with powerful images. There is a written version included too.

The poem is ideal for individual, paired, group or whole class work and would make an excellent addition to your class assembly.

The first half illustrates how wonderful our planet is and the second half illustrates the devastating affect humans are having on the planet.
