This is an assembly I did on teamwork and the importance of being a good team player. It has a starting slide that asks students to review four images and identify the common theme. I then show several examples of teamwork, i.e. ants working together to create a bridge, meerkats defending against a snake and a great quote from the England team captain from the recent World Cup talking about the importance of teamwork as opposed to having standout players. There are then two videos of an F1 pit crew… the first one to demonstrate the speed at which they work and then the second one is slowed right down so pupils can see the whole team working together, each with their own job and dependent on each other to achieve the same aim. I then finished posing some questions regarding what makes a good team player and provide some guidance on things they could do next time they are working in a group/team.

Looks at British democracy from the Magna Carta to the suffragette movement and then on to the UK-EU referendum. The final slides cover the importance of being an informed voter to play a full part in democracy.
