ART
'Perspective Circle’ - an engaging exercise using Picasso and the cubists to explore different viewpoints and the challenges of working as a team.
ASSEMBLY
For Tolerance Day (Approx15 mins)
A whole school interactive assembly that explains what Tolerance Day is, why we need it and what the school is doing to celebrate it. It includes a game in which pupils experience for themselves how intolerance can cause division.
ENGLISH
‘The Sneetches’, by Dr Seuss. In 1998 NATO translated this story into Serbo-Croatian and planned to distribute 500,000 copies to children in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as part of a campaign to encourage tolerance. Dr Seuss himself wrote it to satirise intolerance and anti-Semitism in 1953. This set of lesson plans gets pupils to actively engage with the idea of intolerance and how it can be dramatised though story-telling.
DRAMA/CLASS ASSEMBLY
A whole- class dramatisation of ‘Journey to the Beginning of the World’ - exploring the epic stories cultures have told throughout the ages about how the earth was created. Created and tested by Y5, Grafton Primary, Islington, London.
FORM TIME
