HAVE YOUR ELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS. This is a great Nativity script about a group of Santa’s elves learning about Christmas. So it includes the traditional story but with a modern twist. It has ideas for some traditional and more modern songs which suits all ages. This could even be easily adapted for KS2. It is all in Word so it can be easily adapted for more / less parts by including more / less non speaking or sharing some lines! It lasts for about 40 minutes and all costumes can be easily hand made. If you want any more ideas or have any queries about anything then please just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. I can give more ideas for the costumes we made. I have included the a casting list to make it easy to cast your parts and I have also included a programme to hand out on the night of the show. All you have to do is copy and paste your casting list. We held a drawing competition and the winners picture was put on the programme. Any feedback is appreciated and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I have designed and used this assembly to set a whole school competition to design a cake for the King’s Coronation. The winning child from each class will get to make their cake in school. The assembly begins with music about cake (I played this as they were entering the assembly), the Powerpoint then talks about the history behind cake and includes information about past royal cakes, including the cake for King Charles III, with lots of engaging photographs. It then kick starts the whole school competition. I have included the design spec and key information, leaving key dates blank for you to edit for your school. It could be a whole school competition or just a class competition and the resources can be edited to suit your needs. I have also included the templates for the children to complete as part of the homework / competition. I have set this last week and it was an engaging assembly and the children are very excited about the competition! Please see my bundle, which contains another 2 assemblies based on the King’s Coronation.

This Assembly contains interesting information about our new King. It begins and ends with his favourite songs that he shared on a hospital radio station. It contains facts about his life, family and charity work, as well as fun facts about our new King, such as he has a frog named after him and his car runs on English wine! It also contains information about our King’s many roles and responsibilities. This assembly went down a treat in my school and the children could relay lots of the information in the quiz at the end of it! Please see my bundle, which contains 2 other assemblies based on the Coronation.

This is a Presentation I created for a well being assembly when being observed and it got excellent feedback. It focuses on one of the 5 steps to well being: CONNECTION. It includes information about the importance of connecting with others, ideas on how to develop meaningful relationships and explains that it is not always that easy for some and what we can do about it. The presentation also contains links to videos from BBC TEACH that focus on the benefits of connection. I have also included a song link to play at the beginning and end of the session that relates to the topic of connection. This could be used for a whole school assembly or a PSHE session in class.

I made this presentation for an assembly linked with the 5 steps to well being and focusses on being active and how it can help our mental health. This presentation contains information about the importance of staying / being active for our well being as well as ideas on how to achieve this. I have included a little challenge for the pupils in there as well as a song link for the beginning and end of the session that relates to the theme of being active. There is also a discussion point on how the pupils are active in their day to day life. I have also included links from the BBC TEACH well being page that you could use or share for further reference. This was created for an assembly but it could be used for class use in a PSHE session.
