In yesterday’s Living and Learning session (L&L theme: I respect my community and other communities) we looked at the story of the Hueys and the New Jumper.
First, we discussed what’s good and less good about being a part of a community where everyone is the same.
We talked about our own experiences:
“I felt nervous joining Y3 but everybody made me feel welcome.”
– Ethan
“I didn’t feel nervous because there was no need to.”
– Talha
Next, we watched the short story by Oliver Jeffers.
We explored how the characters in the story would be feeling as Rupert decided to set himself apart from the group with a new jumper.
Finally, we decided that you shouldn’t judge someone on their appearance. It’s more important to get to know the person to make them feel welcome and respected as part of the community.
