lesson plan by Andrew Moffat http://www.equalitiesprimary.com/

|
Learning intention: To make friends
|
|
Success criteria: I know in my class we are not all the same / I
know we are different / I know I can make friends with different people / I
know how to make friends.
|
|
Starter: Show the front cover of the book- what does it say? When do we use
the word “Hello”? What does it mean? Why do we say “Hello”? Do you have to
know who someone is first to say hello?
|
|
Main: Read “Hello Hello” and discuss:
- What do you
notice about the animals in the book? (all different)
- Look at the page
‘hello colour, hello bright’ contrast the animals
- Why do you think
the animals are saying hello to each other?
- Many of the
animals look happy – why do you think that is?
- “A world to see,
a world to know” what does this mean?
- “Where to begin,
hello hello” why is “hello” a good beginning?

Role play: use photo cards of children or name cards.
Say you want to make sure this is the friendliest class in the school where
everyone says hello to each other and we are going to practice. Ask a child
to select a name card randomly; they approach the child selected and say, “hello!”
before the child replies with a “hello!”. Are the children smiling? Why do
you think they smile when they say hello? What signal does a smile give? Ask
different children to randomly select a name and approach, smile and say
hello. Is this a friendly game to play? How does it make us feel when someone
approaches, smiles and says hello?
|
|
Activity: Children draw two of the animals in the book or two children in our class with the words “hello”.
|
|
Plenary: what other
languages have a word for hello? Do we know any other ways of saying hello?
Share with class, search on white board for more examples. Why do all
languages have a word for hello? What does that show about different people
around the world? Why is hello a great word to use when you don’t know
someone? (because when you say hello people will usually say hello back)
If you are meeting someone new and you say hello, what is a good thing
to say next?
Extension: the back of the book lists names for the animals used in
the book and encourages children to find out more about the endangered
species.
