 Eyewitness Assemblies

 

 

 

 

A collection of 15 ready-to-use assemblies for Easter to Pentecost has been designed by Gaynor Cobb for use with Key Stage Two children.

 

Eyewitness Assemblies comes with teachers' notes and framework links for RE, PSHE and Citizenship and tells the stories of Jesus, Andrew, Judas, Caiaphas, soldier Marcus, Peter, Pilate, Mary Magdalene, Cleopas, Thomas, Matthew, Philip and Paul as well as Good Friday.

 

Each assembly outline contains suggestions for a visual demonstration, an introduction, an eyewitness account, follow-up questions, prayer, songs, music and a reflective poem and, in some cases, role-play and enactment.

 Teaching Christian Citizenship

 

 

 

Teaching Christian Citizenship is a resource that can be widely used by teachers of Key Stage 2 children and aims to encourage thought, discussion and debate whilst demonstrating that Christianity provides a strong basis for good citizenship and guidance in PSHE.
