This resource is a comprehension activity based on the year 6 reading comprehension SATs paper. The theme is the story of Palm Sunday, which I have rewritten to resemble the style of the reading paper. There is a reading booklet and an accompanying question booklet, which contains a range of questions based on last year’s paper. Answers are also included. I have included 3 differentiated levels.

Palm Sunday Assembly Plan / Easter

Palm Sunday Assembly Plan / Easter

(0)
This is an assembly on Palm Sunday, with a focus on the theme of choosing the right path over the easy one. There is a 4 page pdf plan and a 31 slide animated PowerPoint presentation. (This is not editable. Click 'Read Only' to open) I like leading assemblies that are interactive, engaging and relevant to the children's lives. This assembly involves an anecdote on a childhood squabble and how it can be hard to do the right thing. You can use the example in the plan or use an anecdote from your own childhood. This is then linked to Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. There is a lot of opportunity for children to think about their own experiences and to feedback. There is also an example prayer/reflection to finish with. The plan is easy to follow and requires no resources, so is perfect for using at the last minute! Both the plan and PowerPoint can be used on their own or together to suit your needs. You can also jump to different sections of the PowerPoint. It includes the introduction, the anecdote, the Palm Sunday story, Palm Sunday traditions today, the discussion/conclusion and the final prayer.
