For The Birds

A group of small snooty birds are rude to an awkward stranger that tries to join them and share their roosting spot.

Teaching Ideas

This film could be used in assemblies and in PSHE lessons when we discuss, 'What is bullying?'
Show children the film without telling them we are doing a bullying less or a PSHE lesson and they often think it is a treat.
I ask them what they think the video tells us.  Does it have a message?
Children will often say that the small birds were mean to the big bird because he is different. 
This sparks the debate.  Who are the mean ones?  Why are they mean?  Are any of the small birds worse then others? 
Is there a moral to the story?  Could we give it a new title?
