Suit Years 7-11 Please leave feedback as to how and why you use this resource

This is a Secondary school assembly that covers the following: **1. How do we celebrate St Valentine’s day? 2. Who Was St Valentine? 3. What is his message? ** (1) Music suggestions : Bowie or the more recent Isakov’s Valentine’s Day or endless Beetles scores about love. Could even go upmarket and impress the Classists with a Shostakovich waltz. Soundtrack from the recent film about Romeo and Juliet with the camera sweeping the Italian Renaissance villas (wrong period of Italian history but very romantic) might be just a little too indulgent. Tell me the music you used.Inspire. **(2) Video: You Tube: Top 10 romantic gestures (3) Bible reading (4) Final thought (5) Call to action ** Below is a basic outline of the Saint which you could use. The rest is done for you but can easily be slighly adapted. Enjoy and share your Valentine Day with me. He was a Roman Priest in Roman times when Claudius was emperor. He was persecuted the church at that time,He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died.

WILL WE BE A BETTER PERSON IN 2018/9 IF WE ACHIEVE THEM? It includes: Music: You could use ABBA- Happy New Year but that would depend on whether you’ve already see Mamma Mia 20 times! Video: The mini bios are on You Tube. The specific links are included incl Bill Gates bio. Bible reading Prayer- by Billy Graham Final thought Call to action Research for talk- below and current research on people’s top goals today -on slides **For the Intro here is some background on where the name of the month January comes from: **In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (/ˈdʒeɪnəs/; Latin: Ianus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, doorways, passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius),[ but according to ancient Roman farmers’ almanacs Juno was the tutelary deity of the month Janus presided over the beginning and ending of conflict, and hence war and peace. The doors of his temple were open in time of war, and closed to mark the peace. As a god of transitions, he had functions pertaining to birth and to journeys and exchange, and in his association with Portunus, a similar harbor and gateway god, he was concerned with travelling, trading and shipping ** ** Any way whatever you do, I hope 2018/9 is a good year for you! Any problems please email me. Some nice feedback if time permits!

Useful assembly on the Rich and Poor; especially around the time of a big celebrity event such as the film Oscars: 4th March 2018, on which this assembly is based, which clearly showcases the exclusive lifestyle of the Rich and Famous. Very topical this year with Harvey Winestein and Kevin Spacey’s public shaming still being very much in the Media Intro asking assembly pupils to look at photos of Spacey or Weinstein and identify the industry that has made them rich. You could go on to talk about why they have been in the news with older students. Or indeed a short news clip of the 2018 Oscars- see You Tube. Tell pupils briefly what the Oscars are all about Introduce the 2015Oscar Goodie bag of $160, 000- see Telegraph article online: What’s in the $160,000 Oscars 2015 goody bag? - Telegraph . or the 2016 bag You choose or amalgamate. The assembly encourages pupils to see that all that glitters is indeed not gold by contrasting the items in the Oscar goody bag with items you really need to make you happy. Second week of March, then, here’s the zeitgeist assembly for you! Now lay the table and get the wine out! Please leave me a review or feedback telling me how you used this resource and why
