This fun and original assembly aids children in understanding the value of being creative in all of their endeavours, through:
Understanding what creativity is, and recognising why it is such an important skill;
Understanding that creativity is a trait within everyone (including themselves) that should be encouraged and harnessed;
Observing some amazing examples of what creativity can result in;
Learning strategies to demonstrate creativity in their own lives.
This assembly is tried and tested, and has always been really well received in the past. The slides are visually engaging and well-presented, and the subject matter is tailored to the interests and needs of young people.
The session also includes a fun role-play task to demonstrate how everyone can be creative and the internet link to a beautiful, thought-provoking video demonstrating the power of creativity. There are also various discussion prompts to enable children to understand how they can be creative in different areas of their own lives.
The slides are fairly self-explanatory, but I’ve included guidance notes to assist the speaker. Hope that you find this useful!

A set of 15 fully prepared, highly detailed PowerPoint based lessons that include: the pages from the actual story, a range of activities per lesson, useful printable resources. The first two lessons are available to download free, to get a sense of the lesson structure (look in my shop).
The book, Ocean Meets Sky, is beautiful. I have used these PP lessons with my Year 3 class and had incredible work created by them. Their level of thinking and inferencial work has blown me away, along with their writing. The work actually lasted me an entire term to get through - 6 weeks. There is more than a single lesson’s worth of work within each PowerPoint.
I’ve poured my heart and soul into making these PowerPoints beautiful to see, easy to use, resource and understand. The lessons are definitely suitable for Lower KS2, and can work wonderfully with minimal adaptation for Upper KS2 also (my Y6 colleague confirmed this).
**You do not need to buy the book in order to use these lessons **- the pages are within. But I would recommend buying ‘Ocean Meets Sky’ - the children LOVED reading this book (by the Fan Brothers) and seeing the illustrations in person.
This beautiful and poignant story has stunning illustrations throughout (matched in the PowerPoints) and explores themes of family, memory and loss. The unit begins by introducing the authors to the children and highlighting the power of bookmaking/storytelling.
Children find a mysterious box in the classroom labelled Grandpa’s Stuff. Inside they will find clues to who Grandpa was and his relationship with the main character, Finn. Finn misses his Grandfather after he has passed away and longs to travel to the fantastical worlds that his Grandpa would tell him about in his stories.
Children are given a variety of meaningful writing opportunities throughout the sequence and gradually build up the skills to write an extended fantasy story of their own.
Main outcomes: Setting and character descriptions, labels, diary entry, postcard, captain’s log, instructions, dialogue, extended fantasy narrative.
The resources are based on the planning sequences for the same book by the Literary Curriculum. I’d recommend taking a look at their site for the planning document that aligns with this (and see the other brilliant stories they’ve created plans for).

Belonging to a community KS1 PSHE lesson. A one-two hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 2, however, the contents may also suit younger students in KS2 (Year 3).
In this lesson, the students will be discussing what it means to belong to a community. We will look at a variety of groups that people can belong to and reflect on the way that we know we belong. We will identify the groups that we belong to, and any associated roles that we may have within these groups.
In our main task, we will take a detailed look at how we can make our community welcoming and inclusive to all groups, in particular, families who are refugees. We will read Kate Milner’s story ‘My Name is Not Refugee’ and complete accompanying tasks to reflect on the message behind the story.
The lesson includes a starter activity, a discussion task, a video clip with questions, a main activity and a plenary. Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets.

These self regulation cards help children to identify how they are feeling. Add a pipe cleaner and bead, so that your child can move it up and down as their feelings change.
The set of six cards can be used once a feeling has been identified. Each colour card has some strategies, which might be useful to help children move from one colour to another.
Every child is unique and special. Help build their self-confidence and self-esteem with this foldout activity, where pupils reflect on what makes them proud to be themselves. Use this fun alternative to a worksheet as part of a self-esteem or an upper KS1/lower KS2 PSHE lesson that will leave kids glowing with self-love and confidence.
This printable activity has 14 face templates with different hairstyles (and a girl wearing a hijab). Each is included with and without a rectangle outline to make the activity more accessible for those children who might struggle to cut around the outside of their template.
Pupils start by colouring their template to look like them.
Each template asks children to fill in the following with words and pictures:
-3 positive words that describe me (there is a word bank to help with this one).
-I am good at…
-I feel proud when I…
-I am a good friend because…
These prompts are not editable.
Print the templates you need on paper or card. Make sure you have lots of coloured pencils, particularly in skin tones. Pupils will need scissors but glue/tape are not required.
A folding guide is included. You’ll also find separate files with US and UK paper sizes/spelling.
Easter is a time of immense joy, particularly for children. And what better way to amplify their excitement than with a specially crafted Easter Activities for Kids Pack? Overflowing with engaging Easter Activities for Kids, it’s akin to discovering a treasure trove of fun and learning just waiting to be unearthed.
Colouring In: First up, we have colouring in. Remember those days when you’d sit with your crayons and bring drawings to life? Well, that’s exactly what kids get to do here. They’ll find Easter-themed pictures of bunnies, eggs, and flowers just waiting for a splash of colour. It’s not just fun; it’s a chance for them to express their creativity.
Easter Word Scramble: Next, there’s the Easter Word Scramble. It’s like a puzzle where letters are all mixed up, and kids have to unscramble them to find Easter-related words. It’s a bit like cracking a secret code, and with every word they solve, they’re also practising their spelling and vocabulary without even realising it.
Easter Sums: Now, who said Easter can’t be a bit educational, too? In Easter Sums, kids get to do some math, but with an Easter twist. They might be counting eggs or adding up how many bunnies are hopping around. It’s a sneaky way to keep their brains active while they’re having fun.
Connect the Dots: Connecting the Dots is a bit like following a treasure map. But instead of finding gold, kids connect numbered dots to reveal Easter-themed pictures. It’s a great way to improve their concentration and hand-eye coordination while discovering hidden surprises.
Matching – Easter: Matching – Easter is all about memory and observation. Kids have to find pairs of Easter-themed pictures, like matching up different coloured eggs or finding identical bunnies. It’s a game that challenges their memory skills and keeps them entertained for hours.
Word Search – Easter: Easter is like going on a word hunt. Kids words search for Easter-related words hidden in a grid of letters. It’s a fun way to improve their reading skills and expand their vocabulary while getting into the Easter spirit.
Easter Maze: In the Easter Maze, kids guide Easter characters through twists and turns to reach their destinations. It’s like going on an adventure, solving puzzles along the way. Plus, it’s a great way to develop problem-solving skills and spatial awareness.
Find the Correct Shadow!: Find the Correct Shadow! is a game of spotting the odd one out. Kids must match objects to their correct shadows, like finding which bunny goes with which silhouette. It’s a fun way to improve their attention to detail and observation skills.
Spot the Difference: Finally, Spot the Difference is all about paying close attention. Kids compare two similar pictures and spot the things that are different between them. It’s a game that challenges their powers of observation and keeps them entertained as they hunt for Easter-themed changes.
Each of these stories has a specific goal: to teach one or more unique values to listening children. So, kids have fun while they learn important lessons they will never forget about what is truly important in life: honesty, sincerity, tolerance, generosity... …
I hope that all the time, effort and enthusiasm put to create these materials result in a little aid for those educating and training children. All stories are written by José Sacristán.
This resources has been created for use alongside The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. The children must help the monster fill his jars by drawing people, things, or places that make them feel each of the feelings identified.
