The Journey Christmas KS2 Assembly

The Journey Christmas KS2 Assembly

(0)
An assembly which uses the them of the John Lewis Christmas Advert 2012 The Journey. Explain that the advert is entitled ‘The Journey’. Invite the school community to discuss the storyline. Ask: ‘What does it tell us about care and giving?’ Observe that whether we are buying or making a Christmas gift, or simply helping a friend, it costs time and trouble to show that we care. Discuss how the Christmas story might also be entitled ‘The Journey’. It tells of Mary and Joseph’s journey into the unknown to bring the world the gift of Jesus. How did they feel? Wise men also faced difficulties and dangers on their long adventure to present their gifts. Why did they travel so far? In conclusion, refer to a story telling how a boy in Africa gave his teacher a Christmas gift. It was a beautiful seashell. “Where did you get this?” she asked. The boy explained that he had walked to a far-off beach to find it. Amazed and surprised, the teacher said: “You shouldn’t have gone so far just to find a present for me.” The boy smiled. He replied: “The long walk is part of the present.” Play the advert again. The children really enjoyed it! Hopefully this will save you time!
St Andrew KS2 Assembly for 30th November

St Andrew KS2 Assembly for 30th November

(0)
St Andrew Assembly/Collective Worship for 30th November. The assembly begins with identifying flags and patron saints for England, Scotland and Wales. Where is Scotland? Famous themes from Scotland. Things we know about Andrew from the Gospel: We first hear of Andrew when he was called by Jesus when he was busy fishing.He was there when Jesus fed the 5000 with 5 loaves and two fishes. Andrew was the disciple who spoke to the boy who had the 5 loaves and two fishes. He told the story of Jesus a long way from his home. He went to Poland, Russia and Greece to tell the story of Jesus! Andrew died in Greece on an X shaped cross. Many years after his death his bones were very precious to Christians who prayed to Andrew in heaven. The bones were brought to Scotland on a very rough sea. The place where they landed is known as St Andrew. Watch clip. Mission for the children: Andrew believed that Jesus was good news for other people, so he shared that news. Ask the children to consider whether the things that they say to others cause joy and happiness. Too often, we can say unkind things or use our words to make people sad. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could all make people happy with the things that we say? Ask the children whether they have any good news today. You may wish to ask a few children to share their good news with other people.

The assembly is topped and tailed with a script for pupils (worship team) introducing and concluding the assembly. (All my assemblies follow this consistent format.) The assembly begins with a definition of Diwa: One Diva lamp; a row of lights is ‘Diwali’. Preparations include: Families clean their homes, Special food and sweets are enjoyed, Fireworks are often part of the celebrations. Revise what we know about Rangoli Patterns. A link to the story of Rama & Sita. The goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty, fertility and prosperity. Make the point that Hindus celebrate and decorate to ‘invite’ and make Lakshmi welcome.

The powerpoint is designed to cover all the main teachings, key words, sub-topics and typical exam questions relating to AQA 9-1 Religious Studies Spec A. The word document is designed to accompany the ppt slides. This is intended to provide a ‘safety net’ for all students but particularly those who may be struggling and just want to be clear on what the main learning actually involves. It is assumed that these activities are ‘cemented’ by other activities, especially useful diverges to enhance interest and learning. This lesson was particularly difficult to resource without going too heavily into creationism or science. However, the implication is that these issues will have to be referred to at some point. There is also a homework task to ensure the Muslim beliefs about creation are covered if there isn’t time for a separate lesson. The key concepts are covered in the lesson so the homework should be accessible to all.

Homework is also provided to examine the case of Terry Pratchett and how he considered the merits of euthanasia but went on to achieve more with his life and die naturally. The latter is a really good example of a real case example of how decisions about euthanasia could lead to unforeseen and tragic consequences.
