I would use this poem as a basis for discussion for a PSHE lesson, looking at the different ideas and ways that 'we need people.' I would ask lots of questions linking to certain lines in the poem, such as 'is it more fun to play football by yourself or with a friend?' - would also ask questions around whether or not we should only be friends with people who are similar to us, or also with people who are different, (could make this as silly as 'would you be friends with a Wolves fan, and then go deeper.)

I thought about showing the video as a better engagement for the children, then holding a general discussion around the children's reaction-how they felt, their thoughts, can they relate?
Links to lockdown- missing eachother. Different cultures- learning from other experiences.
Playground dramas-learning from own experiences with others.
As a additional-explore the author

I would begin the lesson with a poem analysis, looking at aspects of rhythm, rhyme and punctuation and have a class discussion about how the poem is effective with its basic structure. I would continue the class discussion with some sort of spider diagram on the board collecting the children's ideas of what they think it's about, questioning those who notice the message of us all being "people" highlighting that we all need each other. Then following that, discuss ways that we might have differences and how beautiful they are but link it back to why he wrote the poem not exploring those differences in more detail and the impact that it gives the poem.

Fantastic book. There is endless opportunities for activities this could include food tasting, talking about the children’s journeys when they go to a market or supermarket what do they travel in and the different sorts of food that they might buy.

Lesson where you sing each other's names to a melody or beat, then find other names from other cultures to repeat the activity. Could choose an instrument to represent the name.

Chn to think about how a name feels or looks. They draw a picture with adjectives written as well to describe their name. Then look up the meanings if the children's names and they draw another picture.

Also mention chunking in phonics and how it helps us learn to pronounce things.

I would use this story in a music and dance lesson, i would get the children to choose each others names and create a lullaby or a song and then create a dance to make them feel extra confident and special when they sang it to the person whos name it is. You could use different names in music to create pitch, tone and rhythm. I feel that this story is a lovely way to express that not everyone gets names write but you cant be unkind about it, just simply ask and let them break it down and tell you correctly. I would explain that many people have lovely long names, or sweet and short names, doesnt matter what colour you are, you should always take the time to learn someones name if you are unsure of it (as we are all human and can get things wrong from time to time) but getting it right will make that person feel important, seen and happy.

We thought the book had beautiful illustrations which would really engage the children. We discussed how it made children and adults aware of how children may feel when you mis pronounce their name. We like how the mum gave positive solutions and felt this could be linked in PSHE to resilience. This book gave lots of cross curricular scope such as music, PE (dance).

I listened to and read the poem and it was interesting from a diversity point of view as it made me think about not just diversity in ethnicity, but personality, your role in life and your community. Diversity in temperament, resilience,etc

Such a lovely book showing how unity brings about such positivity. I especially liked the aspect of kindness, this is something that is always echoed in the classroom and it would be a great way to voice anything that is uncomfortable for children to discuss and for children to know no matter what they face, tomorrow is another day for a fresh start.

Class discussion about the book, using some of the questions at the back and use a white and brown egg, to show children that although we might look different, we are all the same on the inside. Then do a colouring sheet where the children write what’s special about themselves and their best friend.

It's vital to get the correct pronunciation for a child's name because it is their identity. It is so important to get this right to make sure they feel valued and included.
