What do you see in the picture, what is happening, what sport do you think they are playing - what are the clues? What's the story here?

10 year old Riley was 60m from the finish line of a cross country race in Grimsby when he collapsed with a stitch. Another runner, Julian, picked up Riley and carried him across the finish line.

What were the choices facing Julian as he saw Riley fall down?
Julian could have run past Riley and won the race - why do you think he stopped and picked him up?
How do you think Riley felt when Julian stopped for him?

Julian said, "I'd rather not have won and helped my friend than leave him there"

What does Julian mean?
How would you describe Julian's behaviour?
In the photo it looks like Julian is saying something to Riley; what do you think he is saying? (steer children away from "Are you ok?"- he knows Riley is not ok, what might he say to make him feel better?)

The head teacher of Julian's school said, "What Julian did encompasses how we want our children to be. He has exemplified his caring attitude. He is one of our young leaders where he helps support younger children within the school with extra classes. I am proud to say we have a school full of Julian's."

How can the school be full of Julians? What does the Head Teacher mean?

What can we learn from Julian?
Why is this story about No Outsiders - who felt like like an outsider at the start of this story and who stopped up to make sure they were not an outsider?
Would this happen at our school?
What can we learn from Julian?
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...
