Assemblies - February 2008

Assemblies will be presented as PowerPoint presentations with the accompanying Word document

"The information in the word documents is written, largely, in simple English which gives presenters the opportunity to stamp their own personality on the presentation and to adapt the information to their own speaking style."

"The PowerPoint slides, signified by the abbreviation Ppt and then followed by the relevant number, are designed to be displayed alongside the sections indicated."

"Regarding the follow-up sections, Further Reading, Viewing, Listening etc. This information is given for inclusion on the school website with pupils being told about its presence. It provides a great opportunity for them to learn more about the subject matter at the core of the assembly - the weblinks particularly providing rich sources of information."

Depending on your computer configuration, files might open in your browser window, if this occurs right click on download button and left click on 'Save Target As...'

Feel free to download any assembly you like and if you would like us to write an assembly on a particular topic then email Sara Lewis the operations manager sara.lewis@dragonfly-training.co.uk and we will get onto it straight away.

(Added 17/2/08)

This year marks the 90th anniversary since women were given the right to vote and 80 years since this right was granted to all women aged 21 and over.  2008 also marks 150 years since the birth of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst. 
This is a good assembly for History, Politics and Citizenship..

(Added 4/2/08)

This is a great assembly for those looking to engender an understanding of older people and previous generations.  Here we are looking to make positive links between the past and present, to show that things some pupils might think of as being ‘square’, ‘stiff’ or ‘straight’ – ie the preserve of older people, can actually have a direct influence on the culture that they partake in and contribute to
