A small number of the picture books used in the No Outsiders scheme are now out of print so I have replaced them with new books that fit the No Outsiders ethos.
All picture books used in No Outsiders can be ordered from letterboxlibrary

Text: The cow who climbed a
tree: Gemma Merino
Lesson plan by Andrew Moffat / equalitiesprimary |
Learning Intention: To exchange dialogue
|
Starter: write ‘assertive’ on board; children define the word and
feedback
Discuss the LI: what does “Exchange dialogue” mean? In what situations
might a person exchange dialogue?
|
Main: Read “The cow who climbed a tree”. Why is the book about being
assertive? Look at page 1 where Tina reads a book; why do you think Tina
wants to read? Look at her facial expression compared to the expression on
the other cows’ faces; how would you describe the different expressions? Tina
had a ‘thirst for discovery’ – what does that mean? How would you describe
the behaviour of the other cows? Why do you think the cows tell Tina to stop
thinking differently? What changed the cows’ minds?
|
Activity 1: In the story the cows do the same
things every day and are afraid of finding out about new things. How does
Tina change their minds? She exchanges dialogue.
Some people don’t know about No Outsiders. Some people think the world
is a better place is everyone has the same skin or same faith or does the
same things. Ask the children to find a partner and give each pair a copy of
the Equality Act poster (see appendix 1) or put it on the board. Check
children know what each of the protected characteristics mean. Children to label themselves A and B. Imagine Child A doesn’t know about the
Equality Act; B must share and explain what the equality Act is and how it
affects us. Include reference to the ‘No Outsiders’ message we have in
school. Swap roles so both children get a turn explaining. Ask children to
combine their explanations and feed-back some to the class. Why do we have
the Equality Act and why is the Equality Act important? How is the act
relevant to us in our school?
Put the following questions on the board and discuss: What can we say
if…..
·
Someone says people of different faith cannot get
along,
·
Someone says people from different countries
can’t get along
·
Someone says it’s wrong to be Gay or Lesbian,
Bisexual or Transgender (see plenary below for guidance on this)
|
Activity 2: Children make a “No Outsiders in our school” poster in their pairs
showing the different protected characteristics.
|
Plenary: Well done
everyone for being respectful and calm in our dialogue today. Remember it’s
ok to have different ideas; different ideas about faith and culture can
co-exist alongside each other. The UK is a great place to live because we
have people who believe different things and live in different ways, living
alongside each other and showing respect to each other.
|
Afl questions: Why is the Equality Act 2010 relevant to
me? How is No Outsiders relevant in school today?
