A powerpoint containing a mix of easy and difficult Dingbats images and in turn the answers. This is a ready to roll End of Term Quiz for that last 50 minute lesson with a 'spirited' group!! Enjoy.
Also available as part of a discounted package with a scorecard...see my shop for other options on buying this resource.
This assembly uses humour to appeal to secondary age students and reiterate that Christmas does not have to mean not looking at your study books for 2-3 weeks. This assembly is one that stays in students’ memories and resonates with them for a long time afterwards. The resource comes with a complete script and the powerpoint is fully animated to ensure that the visuals match the presentation.
This is an assembly that my students loved and laughed about for a long time after first presenting this.
WARNING: DO NOT SHOW THIS TO ANY YEAR GROUP WHO MIGHT STILL BELIEVE IN SANTA! :-)
This lesson is designed for CPD sessions/teacher training as a guide to professional conduct and responsibilities. It includes a number of engaging discussion points and interactive activities plus access to an online Kahoot game and demonstrates a wide range of pedagogical strategies including the inclusion of literacy and numeracy in the curriculum.
This assembly is ideal for use as a return to school assembly: it draws on the musings of Jay Shetty, an international speaker who is entirely relateable to young people today. This assembly motivates students to think about who they are and what they want to achieve and to understand that being different is fine, you take you own route through to success. The link in this resource takes you to the video for this assembly and also a range of other useful video resources for future assemblies. My own students were transfixed by this assembly and then went on to refer back to it throughout the academic year, which is why I wanted to share it. This is a perfect assembly for returning year 10s through to year 13s but is equally accessible for younger students who need a sense of direction.
This assembly uses a range of strategies to engage students, include visual images, thought provoking questions and a challenge to take away with them.

After the success of my first compilation of Dingbats images I’ve now created a further mind bending quiz, this is perfect to fill gaps in tutor sessions or PSHE closers and has SMSC content embedded throughout. This would work with students from year 7 upwards.
This resource includes three differentiated poems with leading questions that traverse language, structure and literary devices. This has been created with the Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January) in mind, although it could be used as a supply activity, revision resource, or recap for Unseen Poetry to get students re-engaged with this part of their exams. This is also available as part of a Bundle with an Assembly and a Reading Paper in my shop.
A tutor/end of term film quiz accessible for seccondary students of all ages/abilities - varied clues including audio and visual slides makes this a fun activity.
This is a constructed paper based on an extract from one of Primo Levi's Holocaust survivor novels. This is accessible for KS3 and KS4 and has been designed with the Holocaust Memorial Day in mind as an apt activity during that week, although this would prove to be useful practice and revision at any time of the year too.
This is available individually or as part of a bundle at a discounted price. Visit my shop for more resources like this.
This bundle comprises two fun quizzes to help get your students through the final (and often painful) days of term…I’ve discounted this so it’s a BOGOF deal…more quiz bundles being put up soon so do follow me…
This quiz draws on famous film stars, royalty, pop stars, historical icons and inspirational sportsmen. It traverses the entire curriculum and my year 7s and 9s both absolutely loved playing this. Challenging but not too difficult.
3 quizzes: Dingbats, Film Quiz and Who am I Quiz bundled for even better value for those end of term lessons where only 'fun' will do! My students (years 7 through to 11) loved these.
This new bundle/resource includes a range of current quizzes and a newly designed scorecard to enable this to be used over a number of sittings/half term and ensures a sense of competition between students is upheld.
This lesson introduces students to the fundamental differences between 'features' and 'components' in Media texts and asks them to analyse the 'Where's Klaus' Internet Safety advert. This lesson worked really well as a successful interview lesson for Middle Leadership, it would equally work well for a Media Studies lesson or a PSHE lesson on Internet Safety. Students are asked to engage with the advert using stills and differentiated questions. When I taught this lesson I also got students to mark their start 'grade' on a timeline (most said they would have thought they'd get a 2/3 at first) and then ask them to review this twice more during the lesson.....this simple method was highly successful in showing the 'outstanding progress'achieved during the lesson for all students.
This powerpoint offers a range of statistics making road safety relevant to the young driver, it offers advice and leaves students with something to think about.
This quiz traverses a range of cross curricular topics including Literature, Art, Dance, Music and Media and contains a variety of question types suited to all KS3/4 students including extension bonus questions.
Enjoy!! Mwahahahahahahahaha...
This assembly uses music, interesting facts about New Year, an inclusive ‘hands up’ activity and challenges students to adapt their approach to setting new year’s resolutions and instead aim to be more reflective and make changes all the time to ensure they achieve successes in their education, personal and emotional lives. This assembly draws on facts that traverse a range of cultures and is overtly linked to the SMSC agenda. This would be a perfect assembly to use as a first assembly back in 2020 and will save you thinking/planning time over the festive season.
This assembly considers 21st century problems in a humorous way before considering what Children in Need does, who it helps and challenges students to ‘Do their thing’. 50% of the proceeds from this sale will be donated to the Children in Need Charity, so please ‘Do your thing’.
This bundle includes: a Dingbats Quiz, Who am I Quiz? Film Quiz and a Slogan Quiz. These are accessible for all secondary students and went down really well with my students. These work well as an end of term treat of as a weekly starter/team building competition for use in tutor time.
This resource includes a worksheet (8.1) as an introduction to this aspect of Literacy. The powerpoint is designed to follow on from the completion of the worksheet and serves to check the answers to the worksheet whilst also including further tasks to ensure learning is secure and can be applied independently. The powerpoint includes a self assessment task and a 'Show me the Maths' task plus an extension activity for more able students.
This worksheet and powerpoint forms part of a bigger scheme of work that focuses on literacy, reading and spellings through similarly challenging and engaging tasks. If your like the format of this resource please see my other resources for Years 7, 8 and 9 available as either termly booklets/powerpoints, yearly or whole key stage bundles.
