Possible pre Assembly work:
• Ask children to write poems/stories about the things/people we love.
• Paint portraits of someone we love for a ‘gallery’.
Suggestions

Wedding Day at Troldhaugen - Grieg.
Wedding March - Mendelssohn.
Music for the film ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
• Symbols of Love - Heart, ring, lips, wine cup, flowers, candle, chocolates,
diamonds etc.
• Songs about love, with a medley of songs for the children to guess the title,
e.g. Can’t buy me Love – The Beatles; I want Love – Elton John; The Way to your
love – Hearsay; My Heart will go on – Celine Dion;
or whatever is in the charts at the time.
• Songs for the children to sing, e.g. ‘God is Love’, ‘Life is great’, etc.

special preparatory work by the older children on these ceremonies as part of
their RE/Citizenship curriculum.)
