Assemblies - May 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."

Goon Show
(Added 26/5/08)
Celebrating the anniversary of The Goon Show which was first aired on 28/05/1951. This assembly shows how individuality and humour can shape the way we look at things. It also celebrates intelligence in comedy.
Anne Boleyn
(Added 19/5/08)
May 19th is the anniversary of the execution of Anne Boleyn. She was the 2nd wife of Henry VIII and she was killed for apparently having an adulterous relationship with her brother and four other commoners. She remains one of the most famous names in British history.
We’re putting this assembly up a couple of weeks early as you may like to give it to students as an activity.
The Prague Spring
(Added 12/5/08)
This is a great assembly for history and politics. You could present this during the time of any election.
May Day
(Added 1/5/08)
The first Monday in May has been a public holiday since the late 1970s. Here we trace its origins and look at other public holidays around Europe. Despite the fact that certain newspapers tell us we have too many holidays we discover that in the UK, we are somewhat starved when we compare our bank holiday quota with other countries.
