Assemblies - March 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."

The Eiffel Tower
(Added 30/03/08)

This assembly commemorates the date of the inauguration of the Eiffel Tower. This is a great assembly for art, DT and those hoping to study architecture. It is also just nice to learn something about such a famous monument. The power point presentation is visually striking and brings in some of Britain’s most exciting and visually arresting new buildings and structures.
