This assembly looks at the history of Mother’s Day, the religious and secular significance. It also recognises that not all families are the same and that the care givers may not be the mother, or that date may bring memories of a loved one who has died. The message is one of showing appreciation, on Mother’s Day and every day.
This presentation comes with a preliminary quiz on Forms to get students thinking (link to duplicate is in the teaching notes). The presentation includes discussion points so please go through in advance, as you may wish to adapt to your time frame. In addition to further reading , there is a printable exit ticket to ascertain understanding and what ideas have been taken away.

This assembly deals with the history behind St George (as well as the myth), looking at his roots far from England, who venerates him and how he came to be patron saint of England. It also looks at what he stands for; he was chosen as representing the knightly ideals, e.g. bravery and integrity and in religious terms as a Christian martyr, represents holding firm to his beliefs.
