British Values - Mutual Respect and Tolerance
This assembly focuses on one of the British Values with regards to Mutual Respect and Tolerance.
The first slide is a definition of respect “A regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others”.
The next slide asks the students to compare and contrast the sports football and rugby with regards to the respect shown by both the players and spectators. This should spark debate about the respect and possible lack of respect shown in each. The following slides show footballers abusing referees and and then an article detailing how many referees are leaving football due to the abuse that they take.
A short video of a rugby referee then follows this which demonstrates how rugby players generally show great respect for the referee as he tells off 30 men who were not following the rules without any of them questioning him in any way.
The next two slides show a recent Manchester football derby where the police had to create a line to keep the fans away from each other. The next slide shows two rugby fans stood together at a game shouting on their teams.
This is the hook into the theme of mutual respect because why does rugby seem to have a culture of respect whilst football does not? I then explain that when people show each other respect this makes for a happier experience for all people involved.
I then ask the students how can we show respect for each other at our school and within our house to make it a nice place to be? I have broken this up into respecting yourself, respecting the environment and then others. Whilst talking about respecting others I then introduce the term mutual respect and explain why this is important. This leads into discussion about that fact that in Britian we live in a diverse nation made up of many different cultures, languages, races, and backgrounds and how we can learn from others.
I then finish the assembly with a golden rule about mutual respect: Treat others as you want to be treated
Assembly - Teamwork and Expectations of a New Academic Year
I often use this assembly for the first assembly of the new academic year. In the first section of the assembly I talk about how this is the 'first day a new journey'. How students can remodel them self if they would like to this year of continue the good work from the previous year or years.
I then talk about the basic expectations of the year. Uniform expectations, behavioral expectations and such like.
The final section of the assembly is a practical that students really love but takes some preparation. One a table at the front of the assembly hall I sit a bowl of sweets on a table. I also selotape a spoon to a meter long ruler to create a meter long spoon! You will need two of these. I ask for two volunteers to come out and hand them a meter long spoon each. I tell the volunteers that they have 1 minute to eat as many sweets as possible however, there is one condition. They can only hold the meter long spoon by then end. The only way that they will be able to eat the sweets is to feed each other.
Once the demonstration is done I talk to the year group about how this is an example of being a team and that at school we have to help each other to make sure we succeed. I use the acronym to finish the assembly:
T - together
E - everyone
A - acheives
M - more
Assembly - Positive Thinking - Growth and Fixed Mindset
The assembly is based around a fixed and growth mind set. It uses a series of clips taken from I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here from a couple of years ago when Helen Flannigan was voted to do a number of Bush Tucker Trails. The first two clips show here saying that 'she isn't feeling this today' and then quits before really having a go. The next clip shows here saying that she is going 'to give it her very best' and she completes the trial gaining all of the stars. The message is about approaching a task with a positive mindset. I then list the challenges that each Key Stage will face during the academic year and the importance of being positive and giving everything 100% effort.
Assembly - Create Your Own Luck, Star Signs & Euro Lottery
The assembly is centered around students not relying on lady luck and creating their own futures. The first section of the assembly is a euro millions draw. I have attached an amended lottery ticket that can be used for this. I either give each student a ticket or each member of staff. Once the draw has finsihed (hopefully) no one should have won the jackpot. I then go on to say that we cannot therefore on the lottery in the future.
The next section is a number of star signs that I have taken from Mystic Meg. I enter in staff names at the top of each page and predict their futures. This normally gets a good laugh from the students and I finish on the point that these things are really unlikely and simply guesswork.
The assembly finished with a summary about lucky charms that people may use but actually. Luck is something you create through hard work.
Confidence Thermometer - Progress Checker
I use this document as a progress checker during lessons and have this laminated and blown up into A1 size in my classroom to use.
As the beginning of the lesson when I go explain the learning objectives of the lesson I ask students to write their names on a post it note and then stick their name on the thermometer depending on how confident they feel against the topic. During the lesson I then ask students to move their names if they feel they have made progress against the learning objectives. This is a brilliant tool to demonstrate progress as it is visual and can be visited at any pint during a lesson.

Assembly - Wear Sunscreen, Listen To The Advice That Is Offered To You
This is a really fun assembly that students love. The start of the assembly shows the cover of the song "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)“ by Baz Luhrman. I explain to the group that this song made number 1 in 1999 and was one of my favourite songs whilst at school. The whole song is centred around someone giving life advice. I then play the song and show a picture that details of the advice given in the song. I then move onto the next part of the assembly. This requires some preparation. You need to ask staff to send pictures of themself from their school years and insert this into the presentation. I then show pictures of member of staff and ask the students who they think it is. This normally gets a great laugh.
Once I have been through all of the pictures my message is that as staff we often give lots of advice and sometimes students feel that we are nagging or getting at them. The message is that as staff, we have all made the mistakes that you are going to make so use us and trust us when we offer advice.
Expectations for the New Academic Year, First Assembly
I have used this assembly recently as the first assembly of the new academic year for my house.
I start the assembly by talking through how this time of year is a great time to reflect on the past year and to decide what needs to change or be kept the same to be successful for the new academic year.
I then show a definition of 'expectations' and that this is a strong belief that something will happen. I explain that I have a number of basic expectations for the house to ensure that we are successful on both an individual and house basis.
This then leads into expectations of uniform, behaviour, using a planner, being organised, not littering etc with pictures for each topic.
I then talk through what the house can expect from staff and the what I expect from them and that there will be no passengers this year with everyone contributing.
The section of the assembly is a trailer from a film called the yes man. I play this until half way through to the point where Jim Carey go to a conference and is told that he must so yes to every opportunity given to him. This then links into all the challenges/key school events that I have taken from the school calendar and I ask the group to not see these as negatives but to see these as opportunities to improve and achieve.
I finish the assembly by saying the success of failure of this year will be the students' attitude towards these challenges and that as a team supporting each other it is going to be a very exciting and successful year for the house.

Assembly - Anti Bullying , Cyber Bullying Focus
This assembly has a focus on cyber bullying. The assembly opens with a short clip showing a boy talking to a girl in a chat room. He is being told to say nasty things to her by her friends. The clip ends with the boy telling the girl that they would be better off if she was dead and asks the question 'how would you feel?'
Cyber bullying is a huge issue in schools and this assembly then focuses upon the different types of cyber bullying that can take place and their impact on people.
Assembly - The Lance Armstrong Story - Persevere and Do Not Cheat Yourself
The assembly is based on the story of Lance Armstrong. The first section shows a picture of Lance Armstrong and asks the question who is and why is he famous?
The next clip shows a short video about the rise and fall of Lance Armstrong. The key facts about his careers and then his demise. I then talk through the timeline of his famous rise and fall.
The next is a trailer of the famous documentary that was taken throughout his career where he admits lying to the public and covering up his performance enhancement use.
The final clip is a Nike advert that stars lance Armstrong. In this advert he says 'people often ask me what I am on, what am I on? My bike 6 hours a day, what are you on?'
I then go on to relate the Armstrong Lie to school. How Lance Armstrong knew he was cheating but created a cover story to make him look like he was working 6 hours a day to achieve his goals and not cutting corners by cheating. The assembly then finishes by asking students to not be a Lance Armstrong. To not tell parents, staff, friends that they are working hard/revising if they are not really. To be honest so that people are aware if they need support and can put that in place. I finish by asking the group to pereservere with their challenges but asking for help is not a weakness. It is actually a huge strength.
