I presented this assembly to my house and it lasted about 15 minutes once everyone had come in and sat down. It starts with a video link to students trying to define what respecting others means. This then leads into thinking about what disrepect looks like from teachers to students and then vice versa to identify that it wouldn’t look much different. It then goes on to look at what disrespect of other students looks like. From this it then build on disrespect to discuss why respecting others is important and looks to define our school’s definition of respect ( you can obviously change this). Finally it looks at setting the students a challenge of creating their own school respect charter.

This assembly focuses on making a success of returning to the new normal and is based around the four Rs to success: Reflect - relfecting on the positives that have come out of lockdown Resilience - not giving up because they think they have missed so much school. this focuses on two countries that suffered from natural disasters but students actually perfomred better on return to school despite missing many weeks Responsibility - this focuses on the collective responsibility we all have in following the rules that have come out of the new normal e.g social distancing, one way systems Reac out - telling students of the support on offer if they are struggling to adapt to the new normal This presentation will last about 15 minutes, is fully scripted and i intend to present it to all students in their tutor time via zoom.

An assembly for the year 11s whose year has been cut short.

This assembly starts by getting student to think about new years resolutions they made in 2020 and probably failed at. It then goes through a more sustainable long term 5 year plan and what this might look like for students. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it, especially when students got involved. Save yourself some time this Christmas and grab a bargain. Thanks Jonny

This assembly is based on the fact that most people are unsuccessful with keeping to their resolutions and goes through how to set up SMART targets with real examples relevant to students. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it especially when students got involved.

This assembly takes a twist on the idea of setting resolutions that are usually broken and instead gets students thinking about setting up longer term plans for their futures and setting smart targets. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it especially when students got involved.

This assembly takes a twist on the idea of setting resolutions that are usually broken. It starts with statistics on the most popular resolutions and the further statistics on how likely people are to stick to resolutions all in a very clear and colourful way. It then leads on to students setting a resolution to learn to fail and that breaking resolutions isn’t necessarily a bad thing as long as they can learn from their mistakes and try again. It then goes on to go through some high profile case studies of successful people who have failed many times but not given up and learned from failure. It lasts around 15 minutes and is a great assembly for the start of the new year. It is aimed at all secondary year groups and worked well when I performed it especially when students got involved.

This lesson starts by assessing prior knowledge of the keywords - displacement, velocity and vectors. It then draws on prior knowledge of speed calculation. It then introduces the concept of displacement and student then get to calculate displacement. A worksheet is built into this powerpoint which can be printed off accordingly. This lesson worked well for my low ability year 11 class as it is very visual.

This introductory lesson has a built in worksheet which challenges students understanding of momentum and really gets them to understand how momentum can be manipulated by velocity and mass - essentially students work out the momentum of 3 different size vehicles which turn out to have the same momentum. This lesson is simply a step by step guide to calculating momentum and worked really well with my low ability year 11 class.

This lesson gets students to understand through experimentation how the basic safety features of a car work by increasing the time over which an accident takes place: . airbags .seatbelts . crumple zones Students play with force and momentum calculations to help explain the safety features. They start by calculating the force exerted on an egg when it hits a brick wall and when it hits a towel (best to go outside for this one). This lesson worked well for my low ability year 11 students as it was very visual for them and they could really relate to the content and examples.

This lesson is based on Edexcel's P2 topic 6 SOW and has a built in slide which can be printed off for students as ready made flashcards. It then encourages students to create a revision mind map linking up the different areas of the topic. Worked well with a low ability year 11 class.

This lesson builds students up to naming compounds made from non-metals and metals, which end in-ide and then moves on to naming compounds which contain a non-metal, metal and oxygen which end in -ate. This worked well for a low ability year 11 class, but scaffolding could be taken out to provide more challenge. A worksheet is included and can be differentiated accordingly to test the understanding of different learners,

This introductory lesson leads students to define ionizing radiation for themselves. They then carry out a scavenger hunt (Print off information sheets and put around classroom) to collect information on the three types of ionizing radiation. This lesson also includes learning checks. Worked well with a year 9 low ability class.

This is an introductory lesson where students use their prior knowledge of atomic mass (Protons and neutrons) to create their own definition for an isotope. They are then guided on how to calculate relative atomic masses from relative abundances of isotopes. Worked well with a middle ability year 9 class.

This lesson encourages students to come up with ideas about why salt is placed on icy roads. This get students thinking of a concrete example of how pure and impure substances differ. To reinforce this concept further, students conduct a simple practical where they measure the temperature of melting ice with and without salt. All worksheets are included within the powerpoint.
