Assembly: Infinite possibilities

Teacher notes

You could use this assembly with KS2/3 and above. We discuss the concept of infinity as visually demonstrated by Wei Wei with LEGO bricks. If you feel it is more appropriate, you could reverse the order of this assembly, showing the film AFTER the discussion points. This would be more appropriate for older students, who would have a better grasp of the concept when they first meet infinity in the film. **Note:** you might find this research paper on teaching the concept of infinity supportive: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339673363_'Infinity-based_thinking'_in_the_primary_classroom_a_case_for_its_inclusion_in_the_curriculum **National Curriculum objectives:** Most closely linked to maths and mathematical thinking (number, geometry, physics and so on), you might also want to link the theme of infinity as something intangible to more philosophical thinking or consider P4C techniques, linked to SMSC/ RE. You could also use the assembly to think about unique and unusual careers and how the skills Wei Wei uses are linked to many different careers, especially those linked to the creative fields, engineering and so on.
