Primary Spring assembly
Categories: Primary
Hi, have searched through loads of resources, and not yet inspired! Has anyone got an exciting assembly on the topic of spring for use in an infant then junior assembly?
Thank you.

Hi Andrea,
spring to me shouts ‘new life’. I’m not very experienced with primary assemblies, but how about exploring what represents new life for them?
I think of a story I told years ago to some primary students called Stephen’s Egg. Do you know it? I found a version here that you may want to modify and make your own before using.
If you have time beforehand, you could even give a few students empty egg boxes a few days before and ask them to find something that represents new life for them. I find that including students (even just a few) always engages them more.
Let us know what you end up doing!
One I sometimes use, esp for KS1:
Gat a large cardboard Easter egg - cut hole in it. (Or you can use a fancy bag if not so near to Easter) Inside are ribbons joined together as follows, which you pull out as you talk. Blue - sky; green - new plants etc; yellow - sun, daffodils, chicks; pink - blossom; black (or dark colour if you want to avoid using black for sin) - things go wrong; white - Holy God sends his perfect Son; red - love, blood, Jesus’ death and resurrection - adapt as you wish for your talk. My ribbons are about 3 metres long each except for the red one which is about 30 metres so I get children to come out as each colour appears from the egg and start walking round the hall. If the room is not too big they can get right round all the children reminding them of God’s love wrapping round all of us and lasting forever.
Hope that helps
Thanks for those! I did my first 2 yesterday, infant then junior. Started with feely bags of spring items, (including soft fruit in juice for frogspawn, always like a “yuk” factor)! Then told Stephen’s Egg story to the Juniors and Caterpillars, (caterpillars turning into butterflies) to infants. Then linked the ribbons to them.
It all worked very well. They were the quietest they have ever been during Stephen’s Egg story. The ribbons were very visual and all were keen to hold them. The teacher also commented that she liked them.
Only 6 more assemblies to go!
Thanks for your help.
these ideas were lovely i am actually looking forward to taking assembly tomorrow thank you.
