Super Heroes Assembly for Super Attendance

This presentation has been designed as a basic template for your Top Trumps for Top Attendance assembly. Please feel free to adapt to your own school requirements.

To add impact to your assembly, why not borrow or hire a superhero costume and a willing volunteer (helpful parent?) and source some small prizes (e.g. healthy treats)When a pupil gives a correct answer or an inspired suggestion that is deemed ‘SUPER’, your super hero can run out from behind doors to hand out the treats or shake their hand.
