For the birds

For the Birds - Animation bullying. KS1 KS
Discuss, 'What is bullying
Click here scroll down until you reach ‘For the Birds’.

I ask them what they think the video tells us.  Does it have a message -  The message is that what goes around comes back around.

Children will often say that the small birds were mean to the big bird because he is different - He is a lot different also it looked like the big bird didn’t even know that he was getting bullied by the little birds. He was HEAVY too!

This sparks the debate - Who are the mean ones =  The little birds  Why are they mean - Because he is different  Are any of the small birds worse than others - No

Is there a moral to the story?Yes there is what ever happened to the big bird it reflected on the little birds even badder. Could you give it a new title? The Odd Bird out . Write in your own words what you think this video is about and post to your Blog under Literacy.
