Assemblies - July 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...'

The decisions we arrive at concerning this area of life feed into our general ability to make the right call on any number of situations in our daily lives.

This is a wonderful story which celebrates inner beauty and hidden qualities. I have not written a paragraph to explain the story at its end as I think there are numerous ways in which it can be interpreted: you will know which kind of interpretation best suits the pupils of your school.
