I'm a tired teacher just like you; fighting to balance the importance of my own life with the fun and high level of education I want to give my students. I hope these resources save you time so you can focus on the important things in life.

'Giraffes Can't Dance' Assembly Script

(0)
A KS1 assembly retelling the story of ‘Giraffes Can’t Dance’ by Giles Andreae. One pupil acts as the narrator (thouh this can easily by edited to add more narrators), then there are 6 other speaking parts. Every other child will wear an animal mask and perform in a short dance. The assembly includes full script, ideas to encourage audience participation and links to 6 songs and actions. I also used these dances to inform my PE lessons, the children loved this. This is a FUN assembly for an active class and welcome break to memorizing lines. Enjoy :)

Hilarious version of Cinderella as a whole class play. It’s a bit long for a normal assembly but perfect for an end of year or special play. Enjoy!

Bug Hotel Power point and Letter Home

(0)
Such a fun lesson! As art of teaching microhabitats my class and I created one large bug hotel in our garden area, it could also be done in any forest area nearby, but the closer the better as you can visit and investigate the bugs and which environment they’re most drawn too. Included is a brief powerpoint encouraging the children with ideas of what it may look like and natural environments for different types of insects. I would send the parental letter out a week or two before so they can help out with the items needed. Enjoy!
Vikings Assembly Script

Vikings Assembly Script

(1)
This is a fun Vikings assembly from year 2 to 6. It has 2 songs with youtube links and one link to a Viking thunder clap which is very simple and my kids loved learning. It covers Viking weapons, clothing and Gods. I also put some costume suggestions at the back of the script which would definitely cover a couple of art and dt lessons too. There are so many opportunities for fun acting and miming in this script too depending on the ability of your class. Hope you enjoy it!
'Twas the night before Christmas' Assembly

'Twas the night before Christmas' Assembly

(0)
Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts. It has 12 narrators and 18 acting parts involving a lot of mime or dance. The script is extremely adaptable and funny. The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly and would be most suitable for year 3/P4 and anything right through secondary school. If you wanted to adapt it for a younger class I would recommend giving the narrators the words to read on cards rather than learning them off.

Sound Assembly

Sound Assembly

(0)
KS2 focused assembly about sound. It teaches children about sound waves, the ear structure, pitch and percusion songs. It is a very informative assembly but with lots of humour, practical illustrations and one percussion song for the children to perform. There are speaking parts for 30 children varying in length and ability and links to sounds and visuals at the bottom of the assembly. Science topics should definitely be used more as assembly subjects! Enjoy!
Toy Assembly and Resources

Toy Assembly and Resources

(0)
This assembly is based on the unit of work I completed with my class, therefore I’ve included a plan of what I completed throughout my lessons. This was a great cross curricular topic and as you’ll see, I’ve included links to art and DT, literacy and ICT. The assembly included an option between two songs and the words to a poem we performed. There are also a number of templates to create jumping jacks, shadow puppets and zeotropes. The document marked zerotrope template was a great freebie from a childhood museum which has other ‘toy’ related worksheets and activities which I sent as homework. I completed this summer term in a year 2 class, but to be hones at it is all about the work the children complete can really work from year 1 - 6. We had such fun with this topic and assembly, I hope you do too!
KS1 Self Assessment Sheets

KS1 Self Assessment Sheets

I tend to put these at the end of certain topics or units or work but I have given them to colleagues who use them at the front of the book or to inform parents evening. They include year 1 targets for literacy and maths. I’ve also left a blank template for lesson specific tables. I really recommend children using their own hands for thumbs up, down, sideways as self assessment t the end of lesson first so they can understand the concept. My kids found this easy to grasp and fun. Enjoy :)

'Outstanding' 3 little pigs Nursery Lesson

(0)
This includes a lesson graded ‘outstanding’ during our school Ofsted visit and is aimed at Nursery or Reception children. It includes a detailed lesson plan with youtube links and instructions on how to link table top activities to the theme. The lesson details Teaching Standards it meets and strands such as ‘understanding the world’ in the EYFS. The carpet activity is 2 children at a time (completed over 2-3 days). Play dough, straw and Lego bricks. Try and build a structure and test which is strongest. Use hairdryer to illustrate effect of wind and blowing. (In line with weather theme of the week). This will also clarify tomorrows story ‘The 3 little pigs’, and help them understand why two of the pigs houses have blown down. The story will be a theme during the whole week and presented differently each day to try and reach all types of learners and needs required by the pupils. Individual assessment conducted as activity occurs. Top tip, be sure to pause and narrate/ask questions during youtube clips so children are forced to think more. Enjoy!

This Julia Donaldson Assembly is appropriate for year2-year6/p3-p7. It involves a lot of dressing up as famous book characters and three songs. It was a lot of fun doing this assembly and encouraged not only my class but the whole school to love and desire to read Julia Donalson books. It also has links to these songs, lyrics, actions and a some costume suggestions. Enjoy!

Mythological Creatures Fashion Show

This is a fun assembly script for ages 5-11! It introduces 5 mythological creatures via a fashion show ran by your class. There are speaking parts for 30 children, one song, a range of sound effects and costume ideas for each creature. Mythological creatures include; a minotaur, dragon, cyclops, siren and Medusa. Personally I laugh out loud at this assembly and children love doing it! It has some brief back story for some of the creatures and also highlights their physical appearance/skills in a more engaging way. Enjoy :)
