Remembrance Day Assembly Bundle KS1 KS2

Remembrance Day assembly bundle for KS1 and KS2: differentiated script, 10 slides, poppy craft and reflection sheets for 11 November. Ready to teach.

Plan a calm, age-appropriate Remembrance Day assembly in minutes with this differentiated KS1 and KS2 bundle. Everything you need for 11 November is included: an assembly script, ten slides, a poppy craft and reflection sheets, with wording pitched separately at ages 5 to 7 and 7 to 11.

What’s included
Assembly script (about 20 minutes): speaking roles for a narrator and presenters, with a KS1 version and a KS2 version of every section. It covers why we remember, the Armistice of 11 November 1918, why we wear poppies, who we remember, the Two Minutes’ Silence, reflection questions and a closing reading ending “Lest we forget”. It also has teacher notes, a glossary and follow-up ideas.
Assembly slides (10 slides): a simple KS1 line and a fuller KS2 line on each slide, so one deck works for a whole-school or mixed-age assembly.
Poppy craft: a printable materials list, step-by-step instructions and a cut-out template. KS1 children use ready-cut shapes, and KS2 children add a written message of peace or remembrance.
Reflection sheets: a KS1 sheet with sentence starters, a drawing box and a feelings row, and a KS2 sheet with prompts, a vocabulary box and a short true or false activity.
Teacher notes and answer key.
