The Beano is celebrating Pride. The official Beano website has links to lots of different activities and information about celebrating Pride and understanding what it's about. There is a Pride quiz, "How to celebrate Pride at home" link and a pride flag quiz. 

Beano says on twitter, "Every kid has the right to see themselves in Beanotown... happy pride month to all."

- What is Beano? Who is it for?
- What is Pride, who is it for?
- In our school we talk about all different families being welcome- how are families different?
- "Every kid has the right to see themselves in Beanotown" what does this mean? We can't see ourselves in a comic, can we?
- If you never see someone who looks like you in books, comics or films, what do you think the consequence is?
- What is Beano trying to do? (show that all kids are shown and welcome in Beano, and also different families are welcome)
- In the picture, how are the characters celebrating pride?
- What can we learn from Beano?
-Why is this about No Outsiders?

  What do you see in the picture? Where are they, what are they doing? How was that photo taken, where is the person taking the picture standing (are they standing?) The picture shows 164 members of an international skydiving team broke the world record for skydiving formation, over Illinois USA. This was their 13th attempt to build a shape resembling a giant flower. The previous record was 138. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2015/jul/31/world-record-skydiving-formation-in-pictures -What is skydiving, how does it work? - how do you think it feels to skydive? - The skydiving team are an "International" team, what does that mean? - How did the team make this happen? (working together) - Do you think anyone on the team said, "I'm not holding his hand because we have a different religion," or, "I'm not holding your hand because we are from a different country". Did anyone say, "We have skin that is a different colour so we can't hold...

Kamden uses a wheelchair and one day Paul was horrified when he saw his friend's chair tip up and Kamden fall out. The problem was Kamden had grown too big for his chair, but his family could not afford to buy a new one. Paul said, "His wheelchair has fallen forward so many times and that sucks. Also he has a really hard time pushing it because it's so heavy." Paul decided he needed to help his friend so he investigated ways to raise money. Paul asked his Mun to set up a Go Fund Me page to raise $3900 for a new chair. In 26 days the page had raised $5935! Kamden's mum said, "What really contributes to their friendship is that Paul does not see Kamden as someone who has a disability. He sees him as Kamden. Because of that, Ka...

The female reptile, measuring just 49cm is one of only seven in the world. She is a Leucistic alligator. Leucistic alligators are the rarest of all alligators. The alligator has a brother born at the same time with skin the same colour as most other alligators. The alligator has been described as beautiful. The park is asking people to suggest a name for the reptile. You can see footage of the beautiful alligator in the clip above. - how is this alligator different to most other alligators? - Why does this alligator look different to her brother? (she just does!
