This assembly looks at the idea of Marginal Gains, that is changing lots of things a little in order to gain a big outcome. British cycling has used this idea and now dominates the sport. With the backdrop of the Tour de France the students can see how big changes are not always needed to make big improvements. Team Sky changed everything and the result was victory in the Tour. This is a great assembly topic as it is current and has a huge impact on students who can often feel daunted by some of the improvements they are expected to make.

This is an excellent way to engage the students with a great sporting event. The activities contained will cover a range of mathematical skills all based around the events, bikes, food and teams of the Tor de France. The students have to plot graphs, use percentages, work out ratios, measure distances and use various other skills all focused on the Great cycle Race. The added advantage of the lesson is that it is easily expandable as the race is live each day. A brilliant way to further develop an interest in the real world and the mathematical understanding of it. All the work is provided, including three detailed and informative worksheets.

This pack contains three fully resourced assemblies. The first is on the Tour de France and the theory of Marginal Gains. The idea that little improvements in lots of areas will produce a much greater overall result. The Second is on Democracy and how we came to get it in Britain and views on it today. The third is on Consequences and the sometimes unintended consequences that come from our actions. This gets the students thinking about their choices and how they plan. All three would be suitable for secondary students and sixth formers.

The topics covered are: Problem Solving Time and how to manage it Money- how it works as a motivator and how students could view its importance.

Graffiti- Thinking creatively Perspective- how we need to alter our perspective to see things differently Fight the Power- Why do we organise and make notes in just one way? Think about doing it differently Design a school- thinking about how we learn can make us better learners A letter to yourself- how you would explain your own strengths and weaknesses. The titles may be cryptic but that is because they best describe the activity and they get the students thinking.

Topics included: Image is everything- revising using images Reverse the process- based on reverse engineering to see how a good answer is made Elementary- using Sherlock Holmes to help thinking Help Lights camera action Maps- a look at how mapping can help revision News Report- how putting a news report help focus revision Postcards- writing revision postcards Revision Game Thinking- different ways of thinking The title are varied because so are the methods, however, they are creative approaches to getting the most out of your students.

The aim is to create a visual summary of an historical event, from the main topic down to some of the key people involved. The Tree can be created as a piece of research on a new topic. The students can add to it as the topic develops. Alternatively the Tree can be created as a conclusion to a major class project. Each student can be given a task and once completed it will sum up all of their work.

This lesson is all about imagination and creative writing. The students are to look at traditional Christmas songs, events and customs and invert or twist them to present an alternative. This produces great discussions and some really interesting pieces of creative writing. Alternatives include the Twelve Days of Christmas; Dickens A Christmas Carol; or just the life of a Christmas Tree. The lesson encourages the students to be critical of the work and world before them and come up with an alternative. They then have to present that alternative in one of three ways. At the end of the lesson is an opportunity for the students to think about their own Christmas traditions and write about what is important for themselves at Christmas
