What do you see in the story
where are they?
How are they similar and different?

Jamario Howard was eating a meal with his friends in a restaurant in Alabama, USA when he noticed an elderly woman sitting on her own at a table. Jamario says, "I don't ever want to eat alone, so I decided to talk to her."

How does it feel to eat alone?
Why do you think Jamario decided to talk to the woman even though he didn't know her?

Jamario approached the woman, he says she had a look on her face as he approached.

What do you think the woman was thinking as he approached?

He introduced himself and they started chatting. The woman's name was Eleanor Baker; she told Jamario she had lost her husband and the next day would have been their 60th wedding anniversary. Jamario invited 
Eleanor to join his friends on their table.

Why did he do that?
How do you think Jamario introduced himself, what do you think he said?

Jamario says, "She was excited to sit with us and came over straight away. We all felt really comfortable and asked her a bunch of questions."

Why to you think Eleanor was excited to sit with Jamario when she didn't know him?
They chatted and asked questions; what sort of questions do you think they asked?

Jamario posted this photo on twitter and said, "The point is, always be kind and nice to people. You never know what they are going through. This woman changed my outlook on life and how I look at other people. Everyone has a story so do not judge."

The picture and story quickly went viral around the world

- Jamario says "you never know what people are going through" what does he mean?
- "Everyone has a story so do not judge" what does he mean?
- what can we learn from Jamario?
Why is this story about No Outsiders?
Which British value is this about?

  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...

What do you think this story is about? Tara is an elephant who lives at an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee, USA. Bella is a stray dog who also lives at the sanctuary. Usually the elephants and dogs in the sanctuary keep away from each other. But Bella and Tara are best friends and constant companions. There is a news clip here where you can follow the story. It describes how the sanctuary staff realised how special the bond was when Bella fell ill and Tara refused to move from the area where Bella was getting better for three weeks. The workers would carry Bella out to see Tara every day and you can see this in the footage. You can also see Tara tickling Bella's tummy using her giant foot. https://www.y...
