Shapeshifters
Lei-lei is a new girl at Penny’s school. Acacia the class bully tries to steal her lunch but Lei-lei has special ‘shape shifting’ skills and briefly uses them to change Acacia into a prickly tree and stops her bullying. Penny is intrigued and wants to learn shape shifting but shape shifting can be dangerous if used for the wrong reasons, will it be ok or will Penny find it too hot to handle?
Teaching Points
Develops values:
- The self, recognising that we are unique human beings capable of spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical growth and development
- relationships as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and to the good of the community. We value others for themselves, not only for what they have or what they can do for us
- equal opportunities: boys and girls are encouraged to see themselves as different but equal.
