Through the story, ‘Sneetches’ by Dr Suess, we discussed how we should value and celebrate our differences.

The children then drew their own sneetches in response, looking at how it can sometimes feel like you need to adapt to fit into society but in actual fact we find freedom in accepting and loving ourselves.

Star or no star we like you the way you are!

We then looked at the the artist Larry Poncho Brown and recreated his painting, ‘Celebrate Freedom’ for our hall art. The children had the freedom to design their piece of our jigsaw puzzle however they liked with the only constraint being the pieces ended up fitted together.

Remember there is no such thing as ‘normal’, we are all unique and should embrace our differences!
