Using the power of story, it stimulates reflection and discussion on a range of topics. The material is presented to maximise fun in learning, flexibility and coverage of National Curriculum guidelines for values education teaching. Amongst the key values discussed are:
Each session contributes to key skills in English, whilst many of the activities involve use of co-ordination, numeracy and science skills.
