<p>Assembly on Lent: where it comes from in the bible, alternative things to give up in modern times. Link to lego story of the temptation of Christ if you want. Worked very well with both KS3 &amp;4 who enjoyed the lego! The whole thing takes about 20 minutes. Good for SMSC.</p>

<p>A set of 3 lessons specifically with non sppecialists and cover supervisors in mind covering press freedom, resonal freedom and human rights. three linked but very different lessons that could also work well as a focus day. Starters, plenaries and video clips that arounse a LOT of discussion supported by the text book (Citizenship Education for Key Stage 3 by Terry Fiehn and Julia Fiehn) . The kids and teachers loved it.</p>

<p>VERY successful assembly on the theme of candles with focus on advent mentioning Hanukkah and Divali. Many children came to thank me at the end. I made a very basic advent wreath using battery tea lights and a hoop of ivy with holly while explaining the first part which captured their attention. I usually have Christmas carols playing when they walk in. Good for SMSC. takes about 20 minutes but you can play around with the music video to make it longer or shorter</p>

<p>Specifically for non specialist teachers and cover supervisors: 3 lessons on parliament built around the text book offering with starters, plenaries, video clips, discussion points and homework (Citizenship Education for Key Stage 3 By Terry Fiehn and Julia Fiehn) The lessons are very and full so could easily work for 3 sessions on a focus day or by allowing extened discussions the activities could be spread over a half term.</p>

<p>Christmas assembly with a nod to Hannukkah showing the importance of people over material possessions at christmas</p>

<p>I used this Assembly for KS3 &amp; KS4. Good for: British values, Citizenship and SMSC. About 20 mins longChange Slide 3 to adapt to the year group, as is it is ready for year11 and it did actually work for year 7though to 11 though I did change my tone of voice and linger on different parts of the assembly for different year groups.</p>

<p>Used as a cross curricular whole day project in activity week introducing governance for Citizenship also good for Lord of the Flies in English, Artc and even music. Groups create their own state. Good for SMSC</p>

<p>Very well recieved by students. Christmas assembly with the focus on presents compared to Hannukah presents going on to the origin of Santa.</p>

<p>Every year the Gideons present year 7s with Bible. This tells them who the Gideons are and how the bible is made up, what it is. Muslims and Hindus also read the Bible as a sacred text.</p>

<p>Full lesson useful for specialist and non specialist teachers of Citizenship with starter, plenary and homework. Looking at jury duty, magistrates and Special Constables. Lesson centers around questions and discussions set around 4 short video clips. preparing pupils do do a case study for homework. Text book not needed but does support the lesson if you have one. I have used it successfully with both KS3 &amp; 4 though the outcomes have been different.</p>

<p>Easter Assembly with Christian theme with a nod to the Seder meal; Music and factual information with some reflection. About 15-20 minutes but you can play around a bit with the entrance music (not included in the 15-20 mins timing) and add commentary that is relevant to your students to stretch it or cut back a bit.</p>

<p>Set as H/W or library lesson activity before reading the text to get context. Fact file on author for pupils to fill in. Can be used as planning phase for a bigger project on Gothic writing.</p>
