Global Warming at the Poles Assembly for Key Stage I

Global Warming at the Poles Assembly for Key Stage I  is a Key Stage I adaptation of two scripts I wrote for Key Stage II – Our World and Poles Apart. It features a selection of animals from the Arctic and the Antarctic, plus some scientists speaking of global warming … and a snowman!

Lots of jokes, poems, songs and light banter – along with some ‘serious stuff’ on global warming.

Cast of 30

Duration: Around 20 – 30 minutes

Sample Text:

Child 15:          Polar Bear

Child 16:          Penguin

Child 15:                      (Turning to Child 16) What are you? I’ve never seen anything like you in all my life!

Narrator:         And there’s a very good reason for that. Penguins don’t live in the Arctic!

Child 16:          Oops! Sorry! I was forgetting.

Narrator:         Yes?

Child 16:          That I live in the Antarctic.

Narrator:         Correct! So, let’s see what animals live there!

(Again, children take off ‘winter clothes’ to show animal costumes underneath)

Child 16:          Penguin

Child 17:          Seal

Child 18:          Walrus

Child 19:          Blue Whale

Child 20:          Albatross

Narrator:         So, no land-living animals in Antarctica, correct?

(Antarctic animals nod in agreement)

(Enter nine scientists, all wiping their brows)

Scientist 1:       Phew! It’s a bit warm round here. That’s global warming for you!

Narrator:         But isn’t that good? It can’t be much fun being freezing cold all year round!

Scientist 2:       (Sighing). I can see this one needs educating! A few questions.

Scientist 3:       What is frozen water?

Narrator:         Ice! That’s easy!
