Primary 4 have recently finished studying our class novel ‘Horton Hears a Who’.  The pupils discussed the setting, the characters, and the message the novel was giving to its readers.  They began to appreciate and understand that ‘a person’s a person, no matter how small.’  This was considered in relation to all of God’s living things.

The pupils created their own pieces of writing, imagining what a visit to Who-Ville would be like, considering carefully how they would shrink small enough to visit and describing well what they saw and who they met on ‘the tiny speck of dust.’

The learning continued outside, through outdoor learning opportunities, where pupils searched to identify the smallest living thing they could find in and around the school grounds.  They also created their own transient art pieces, using natural materials to make beautiful scenes from Who-Ville!
