- schools are often short on thought-provoking ideas for assemblies
- full student involvement is staff-intensive and time-consuming
- R.E. rarely challenges brighter students
THAT’s why we developed DIYAssemblies!
DIYAssemblies are a unique mentoring experience which encourage children to:
- explore together the meaning of bible stories
- reflect on how to translate the message for their peers
- develop their own presentations
- contribute to the school’s assemblies
How it works:
The school decides which children take part – we suggest 6-8, Year 6 G&T children.
We provide:
- all the paperwork, including letters for parents and risk assessments (see below)
- transport to/from The Conduit Centre
- DBS cleared staff
- all the equipment & materials they need, including laptops, cameras, costumes & craft materials
The students join us for five afternoon workshops:
Week 1: The Story – Listening, discussing & reflecting
Week 2: The Plan – Team decision-making
Weeks 3 & 4 The Production – Creativity, organisation, taking responsibility
Week 5 The Rehearsal – Formative Assessment
Week 6 Assembly at school – confidence building
This is all at no cost to the school.
