Sami's Lunchbox
Sami is new to Maple Class, and lunchtime still feels new. Watch the film, rewind and rewrite an unkind moment, make room at the table, flip Grandad's pancakes, learn to ASK and fill the belonging table so that everyone has a seat.
For the whole class on a whiteboard, or on a tablet or laptop. Turn on 👥 Teams to play in two teams. Nothing children type, tap or say is saved or sent.
