Duration:
The script should last about 20 to 25 minutes; this does not include music.

The script can be edited or amended to suit the needs of the children taking part in the assembly or to fit in with what the students have been covering in class.

We covered Apollo 13 so there are references to that.

We found it difficult to find a song for the children so we asked on student if he’d like to write a rap which turned out to be amazing!
