This assembly looks at loneliness at Christmas within our community and how we can help. It also looks at our own feelings at Christmas and how we can look after ourselves during this time of year. It is thought provoking and touches on the Christian message of love and uses the John Lewis advery from a few years ago to get individuals thinking about how we should all care for each other at Christmas.

Good for 'chatty' groups. Makes students think about the quality of their talk. Each student needs about 4 or 5 each. Every time they speak, they place in the middle of their team table. When they have finished their tokens, they have to listen to others in the group until all tokens are used. When all are used, students can redistribute. You may want to say that students can write out or draw their thoughts to keep all contributions going.

This is a four sided pyramid which can sit on all Maths desks from Year 7 through to Year 11. One side has key symbols, another key words of algebra, another side for number and another for exam command words. Print them on card and form groups can assemble them easily.

The theme of the assembly is to look at kindness in war – how in any situations of war, both sides think they are right. We can look back at World War 1 now and realise that everyone was just fighting for what they believed to be true. Within these horrible situations of war, kindness is still evident. Link back to football matches during the Christmases of 1914 & 1915. The assembly starts with a comparison of then to now. It then looks at some examples from the war in Gallipoli of kindness in a horrible situation. You may want to play the Gallipoli song, ‘ Waltzing Matilda’ as the students enter. Kindness starts with the way we treat each and every human being we meet. If we cannot be kind today, when we have peace and democracy, what does that say about us as human beings?
