The topics links to class novels and include: narratives, discussions, persuasion, poetry (rap and WW1), newspapers, reports and Britain Since 1948. The vocabulary links to both the writing genre and the medium (class novel). Class novels include: Skellig, Kensuke's Kingdom, Holes, Coraline and Once.

This assembly is based around the Oscars. Each child will win an award and give a speech. It includes a full script and PowerPoint to accompany it. There is also a voting form for the children in class (based on 28) to vote for their nominations - you may want to 'change some' to ensure all children win one award (e.g. best sportsman or funniest). For the PowerPoint, you will just need to add in the nominations photos and names. On the script names will need to be added. The children all get to see their nominations (approximately 3 each), when preparing, however they don't get to find out which award they have won until the assembly (all winning names should be placed in envelopes). I have written 'child 1' etc in the script, so this may need adapting to ensure the right children win appropriate awards, as ours did. The script also includes various famous people (children dressed up) giving the awards (eg the Queen). Our children loved this assembly - being nominated and giving speeches.
