In the classroom you might encourage a sense of role play,and in groups or pairs, ask them to come up with somequestions they would like to ask the other animals they meetalong the way about the big wide world? Maybe you could askthem to write their questions down on ‘post-it’ notes oncethey have thought of a few, and you could explore theanswers as a whole class?
