I have been teaching over 15 years with 13 years experience in Year 6. I lead English and Maths and support numerous schools with T&L and leadership. Children I work with are EAL, SEN, G&T and are from a diverse background. I adore my job and try to find ways for the children to thrive.

Script for 'Britains Got Talent , where the school name is used instead. It can showcase talents by the whole class including singing, dancing, rapping etc. It uses comedy and embodies the true characters of the judges.
This assembly script is designed for Y6 leavers - focusing on being locked in ‘primary jail’ for various crimes and needed to perform tasks to escape to secondary school.
Each child has committed a crime (e.g. crimes against handwriting/dad dancing etc).
one child from each task escapes until they join a group at the end, who perform a dance - therefore when adapting to suit your class, you may need to change the crimes or order of children. It could be adapted to suit any transition year.
Our class thoroughly enjoyed this play.
This assembly is based around the Oscars. Each child will win an award and give a speech. It includes a full script and PowerPoint to accompany it. There is also a voting form for the children in class (based on 28) to vote for their nominations - you may want to 'change some' to ensure all children win one award (e.g. best sportsman or funniest).
For the PowerPoint, you will just need to add in the nominations photos and names.
On the script names will need to be added. The children all get to see their nominations (approximately 3 each), when preparing, however they don't get to find out which award they have won until the assembly (all winning names should be placed in envelopes). I have written 'child 1' etc in the script, so this may need adapting to ensure the right children win appropriate awards, as ours did. The script also includes various famous people (children dressed up) giving the awards (eg the Queen).
Our children loved this assembly - being nominated and giving speeches.
This Y6 Leavers Assembly is based upon the show 'This is Your Life' - using the duo Ant and Dec as presenters. Their lines are written in Geordie. The script follows 2 children dressed as the Head and Deputy, meeting the class from that year.

This PowerPoint leads the children through two extracts from classics (Lord of the Flies and Treasure Island) - there are questions linked to the texts (including vocabulary choices, inference, and summarising the text). Prompts then follow to allow children the chance to still work independently, with clues to the mark allocations. There then follows the mark scheme. This process is repeated for both extracts. There are also two ‘Going deeper’ questions.
I have used this with my children in class with great success.
Due to the complexity of the text, this can be used with older children.

This is the script for a Y6 Leavers Assembly based on two children travelling through different eras from the past to find out what schooling was like. It has comical value, and even travels into the future, where schools are now on Mars, due to the mistakes of a certain world leader ignoring Global Warming. My class loved this script, and is based on 30 children in my class. However because there are many more roles, each child had 2+ roles - therefore it can be suitable for 1 or 2 form entry.
Have fun with this script! We certainly did
