Hilarious version of Cinderella as a whole class play. It’s a bit long for a normal assembly but perfect for an end of year or special play. Enjoy!

Hilarious and fun script all about Robin Hood and Nottingham. Written for KS2 and beyond. Great to use as a class play or assembly based on a literacy topic. Enjoy!

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!

A wonderful assembly all about the ancient Egyptians. It includes one song and links to it on youtube, one quiz done in the style of who wants to be a millionaire (all about the Egyptians) and one example power point to put in the background, including lots of ideas for ancient Egypts based lessons; mummifying apples in science, dance and movement and an example of a class display. Enjoy!

This resource includes the script and 2 powerpoints for an assembly. Was originally for a year 5 class but can be adapted for any ks2 class. The first powerpoint includes opportunities to add photos of your own class and some cross curricular lessons, such as mummifying apples in Science and Egyptian movement in PE. The second powerpoint is a an ‘Egyptian’ version of Who Wants to be a millionaire. My school LOVED this assembly. Enjoy :)

A list of phonics games which can be played as class starters or main group lessons. Really helped me fill time during my PGCE/NQT.

Simple and fun games divided by the sounds in each phase. I gave these to my TA’s to use in small groups. We began by simply saying the sounds, laterwe added in saying a word with the sound, the writing the sound/word and eventually with HA children would work in pairs to draw a picture of a word with the sound and their partner would segment the word. I even used them as ‘fun’ assessment at the beginning of a term. Enjoy!

Simple board game consisting of ks1 tricky words. I’ve used this in so many different ways; you can divide kids up into colours and in turns ask them read all of the words in that colour. you can play as a normal board game with dice you can play with HA children not just reading the word but putting it into a sentence you can make it a guided reading or literacy lesson by asking the children to write a sentence using the word they land on I have even used this as an assessment lesson in year 2 when I first got to know my class, it allowed me to find out where they were but also have fun with them. Enjoy

Fun board game for learning new vocabulary and recognising words which have a silent ‘h’. Lesson plan included to give you ideas and explain how to play. I would recomend printing the game on a3 and laminating, this got me my first ‘outstanding’ in lesson and kids really love learning the new words! Enjoy!

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!

Three levels of worksheets to identify and create your own sentence types. Each page includes the definition of each sentence type which is great for beginners or revision, but this could be edited to become a cloze procedure. I’ve used this to introduce the topic in class and then to send home for parents in HW. Many of my parents said they found the definitions really helpful and put them up at home as they hadn’t been taught how to identify them before.

Very simple writing stimulus for the Roal Dahl story of BFG. I have used this for my writing moderation from year 2 to 6. It can also be a very simple homework for the kids.

An assembly script for y2-y6. The classic tale of Jack and the beanstalk with acting or speaking parts for everyone in the class.

An assembly all the world’s best snack. This class assembly looks at the cocoa bean’s journey to chocolate. It introduces the idea of fair trade benefiting farmers and communities. It includes some acting and one song with a youtube link to lyrics and dance moves. Appropriate for a capable y2 class and up. Enjoy :)
