• Share in their own words the meaning of the term ‘equality’
• Make connections between the story ‘We are all different’ and their own classroom dynamic
• Express what makes them different to others in the class i.e. home country, language, family unit, etc.

Introduction

• Invite the children to design their own cover for the book-what other differences could they include?
