Hi. My name's Sue Russell. Welcome to my website! I hope you find what you're looking for!
"Thank you for all the fun we've had and the countless hours of work you have saved me". This is a comment I regularly receive and it sums up, for me, the service I try to offer teachers and their classes all over the world.
THIS MONTH'S SPECIAL OFFER - FREE!
SPECIAL 'BACK TO SCHOOL' ASSEMBLY - ON NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS! Go to free scripts to download this assembly, originally written for January the first/New Year but just as appropriate for beginning of school year - in September.
Latest addition - Harvest Festival Assembly - can be put on by group of 6 children or any size class - First of a set - Special Half Price Introductory Offer.
Just going onto website - Guy Fawkes Assembly which includes short play: Guy Fawkes on Trial (also available separately) Was he really guilty ... or was he set up? This is the first of a set of famous people 'on trial' - with some rather surprising verdicts!
In the light of yesterday's news coverage concerning the actions of some 'misguided' priest in the States (see Blog) I would like to draw teachers' attention to my free script on Different World Religions - an attempt to promote tolerance and understanding in our world. (I am currently working to correct the download fault on this particular script so if you'd like a copy, just drop me an email request in the meantime and I will email it back to you)
I have just added a section called Plays for Sept, Oct and Nov. I can now offer an assembly for pretty much any week of the year (and this does not include my curriculum-based collection) The selection for September is as follows:
- First Week of Term: New Year Resolutions! Don't wait til January - now is the time to plan the perfect year!
See New Year Resolutions Assembly
See Roald Dahl Assembly
- Spanish Heritage Month (15th Sept - 15 Oct)
See Spanish Assembly
See British Food Assembly
See Harvest Festival Assembly (Special Half Price Offer)
See Our Planet - available both as an assembly and as a set of guided reading play scripts. These cover 5 different habitats and the impact man has on them.
See Sea Life Quizzes and Jokes - set of five covering sharks, whales, dolphins, jelly fish and bony fish
See Jawesome Jury. This is a jury of sharks, led by the Hammerhead Shark as Judge, passing sentence against Man for his mishandling of the sea environment.
Along with offering assemblies for every week of the year, I am also considering putting together a monthly theme approach
- 'Welcome back' for September
- 'Those who have inspired us' for October (including scripts from Black History) i.e. Heroes
- 'Anti-heroes' for November (such as Guy Fawkes i.e. those who haven't quite made it to hero status but have managed to find a place in the history books - for whatever reason!)
For more information, drop me a line.
At last! Annual subscription now available - the ultimate discount deal - this allows you to download my entire collection - for the cost of 4 scripts (if performance rights included) or 9 scripts (without performance rights). At my most recent calculation, you will save at least a thousand pounds - or more, as I am adding scripts all the time.
Important notice re: ordering. I always send out pdf and word attachments on receipt of an order - just in case download direct from the website poses problems. PLEASE check junk folder if you are awaiting a script as I do sometimes end up there! Also, if you are looking for a specific subject/theme which doesn't feature in the catalogue, email me and I will see if I can provide the script (as part of my 'write to order' service).
If you are ordering scripts off my site as a normal paying customer, a brief word about 'performance rights'. I have always tried to keep my charges right down - and continue to do so. I do not wish customers to make the decision on whether to buy my scripts purely on whether they can afford them or not. I imagine most school budgets can cover the additional 'performance charge' but if you, as an individual teacher cannot stretch to this fee, please feel free (as many do) to click on 'for classroom use only' box which means you will only have to pay for the script alone. If you take out a subscription, you only pay for one performance rights certificate - which for a collection of 60 assemblies and around that number again of guided reading scripts, performance poems and quizzes - is a pretty good deal.
My work covers curriculum and non-curriculum-based scripts as well as 'Key Dates/Events'. The World Cup has been and gone but will be followed in 2012 by The Olympics - current scripts available in sports section of assemblies and guided reading scripts but I will be adding to and producing a separate section devoted to The Olympics (as I did for World Cup) a little closer to 2012!
Thanks for lovely feedback I continue to receive - the latest one on my Greek Assembly was a particularly nice one - here it is:
"I am just writing to you to thank you for a fabulous script. Today was the day of our performance to the parents and other children of the school.
It was a huge success! All attending (hall was jam packed) enjoyed the show as it was funny, witty and informative. In particular the choice of music added to the enjoyment". Thanks Gitta - Much appreciated.
Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays - mine were spent moving house! Just about 'sorted' - Sky arrives today!
Looking forward to imminent return to normality - with a touch of routine!
Now I'm back in the UK I am easier to contact by phone - I will explain in Contact Me category I'm about to add how I aim to overcome on-line difficulties!
Good luck, everyone, in new term - don't hesitate to contact me if I can ease the work load in any way!
Best wishes
Sue
