This book is a companion volume to Assemblies for Autumn Festivals and is packed with a further 36 tried and tested assembly ideas, designed to resource the second and third terms of the school year. The ideas fall under four main themes: Saints of Britain, Faith in action, The life of Jesus and Special days and celebrations. There is a wealth of material to choose from within each theme. The assemblies can be used either in date order or as a set of assemblies on one of the key themes. For completeness, cross-curricular links for the classroom are included with each theme.
Pupils are invited to imagine themselves as part of the story and also encouraged to think about their own values and behaviour, not by learning the right answers to give, but by making a leap of imagination and identifying themselves with the characters in the stories. There are six themes in total, each with its own easy-to-make storytelling prop. The stories within each theme are divided into six weekly episodes, covering a wide range of contemporary values and topics. Together the stories cover the whole school year, with a key theme and a story in six parts for each half-term period.
