Summer term
Assembly about Friendship for KS1 & KS2 primary
Mindfulness Assembly / Lesson Presentation
Mindfulness is incredibly important in a busy school; but how can we educate our young people in such a skill?
Perhaps stress levels have risen during tests and exams, and you have seen behaviour go downhill.
Use this fantastic resource to raise awareness of mindfulness, and encourage your students to use the enclosed techniques to manage their stress levels and improve both their behaviour and wellbeing.
Life After School Assembly
Achieving Our Goals Assembly
My audience was a Secondary Learning Disability School, but I feel the presentation could be adapted for Primary or even some Secondary (KS3) Assemblies.
Its a "fun" assembly but has a strong emphasis on how we can achieve goals in life.
Autumn term
