Thinking about being neighbourly

This week we read and discussed this interesting text. The key themes to explore are being neighbourly and feeling lonely.

Here is a glimpse of today's thinking.

What did the story make me think about?

• visiting neighbours - Lucy
• my Poppa's chickens and their names beginning with H - Annabelle
• that I would like some chickens - Ava
• my neighbours Wayne and Nova - Lorenze
• checking on neighbours after the earthquake - Mrs H

What did you like and agree with?

• That they shared the garden - Bina
• They helped put the garden back together - Sammie
• Baby chickens hatching - Ava
• That the neighbours go to know each other - Lucy

What did you dislike and not agree with?

• The tornado ruining things
• That Amelia didn't have a family - Lucy

We then spent time discussing and categorising actions into neighbourly, not neighbourly and not sure.

What do you think of these situations? Where would you put them?

• Being asked to look after your neighbour's fish but not doing it until the day before they came back from holiday.
• Taking apples from a neighbour's tree, making a cake and then gifting it to your neighbour.
