Stuck with your tutor group for an extra hour because...reasons...? Have a last lesson planned, run it and the students love it. Then suddenly Christmas lunch is cancelled and you see the same group again? Students demand that you have a 'fun' lesson but you just...well...didn't plan it? Here is a set of ideas that are just pick up and go. Really. Just give yourself 5 minutes before the lesson and have a Merry Christmas one and all.

Designed for KS3 but easily modified to deliver to KS2 or KS4. After recent events, it is more important than ever for our students to respect both themselves and each other. This is more than just discipline and liking other people. This is about respecting difference and diversity in every context that we encounter. This assembly helps you to deliver just that.

A planned assembly for the topic of responsibility.

Fully resourced ice breaker games. Use these to help students introduce themselves to each other (and to you). There are 9 activities, some need no preparation, others need cards to be printed, and you would need to organise iPads (or iPhones) to use the App.

VE Day presentation with a wealth of information about the day celebrated on the 8th May. Linked to British values and involves both a historical look at this important event, and how students should think of this in the context of British values. There are some links to YouTube videos within the 18 slide presentation. I would recommend that you check these first as sometimes videos can change or become unavailable over time (the videos are not linked straight within the presentation, so if you choose not to use the videos that will work fine).

A presentation covering the Internet with 21 slides that could be used for an assembly or a tutor / information session. This assembly covers: This assembly looks at - The origins of The Internet The Internet as a resource that connects people and helps them share information The negative side of the internet and ICT if there is an over-reliance on it The dangers of the internet for young people This assembly has slides so you can add you own text, or remove/ add slides of your own. Each slide makes a simple point so that you don't need to learn a script.

Includes May Day presentation with a wealth of information about the festival. Also included is a reading sheet, plus instructions on how to make your own may day pole.

Designed for KS3 but easily altered to deliver to KS2 or KS4. The OECD announced that schools should teach people how to identify fake news. This assembly resource does just that. Contains video resources, slides and a script. It is recommended that teachers check the content of the script and the videos before delivering this season.

A beautiful mindfulness presentation with 18 slides that is designed to be used for either an assembly or a session. Mindfulness is incredibly important in a busy school; but how can we educate our young people in such a skill? Perhaps stress levels have risen during tests and exams, and you have seen behaviour go downhill. Use this fantastic resource to raise awareness of mindfulness, and encourage your students to use the enclosed techniques to manage their stress levels and improve both their behaviour and wellbeing. New for 2019 - included a fun weekly log for students to practice mindfulness with.
