When they heard the seagull was alone and covered in oil, the children felt sorry for the poor bird.
With support from Class 6 girls, Class 2 pupils shared moments when they felt alone, often when they were left out. For them, loneliness means exclusion.
As a follow-up, they worked together as a team to play the game and test their memory of Chapter 1. We read the questions, discussed the answers, and were happy when we got them right. The children remembered almost everything.
Later, we explored the sides of the world using “Up” for North and “Down” for South. We travelled with seagulls across Europe, sightseeing Hamburg, Calais, and other places, and learned how the British and French use different names for the same channel. We also discovered how nature guides us: moss shows us how to find north in the forest. Pupils shared memories and dreams of visiting the Netherlands, the UK, France, Spain, Germany, and other European countries.
Finally, the pupils used MapChart to colour the countries visited by the seagulls. They first agreed to use the colours from each country's flag.
