<p>An editable script for a space-themed assembly for younger pupils.</p> <p>Features two songs for children to sing and 30 separate speaking parts (though these are easily combined should you have children who do not wish to speak).</p> <p>The basic premise of the assembly is that two children in the class want to go on holiday to space and so listen to some facts about the eight planets to help make their decision. They don’t want to stay on planet Earth because it’s too messy!</p> <p>In the end they realise that the other planets would not be great holiday destinations because they’re too hot/too cold/too rocky/too smelly! They choose to stay on planet Earth but realise that they have to help to look after it to keep it a nice place to live.</p> <p>We had great success with this assembly in Reception last year - the children (and parents) loved it - and it’s easily edited to make it work for other classes.</p>
