Trousers

    


What do you see in the picture, what is this person doing, can you guess what this story might be about? 

This girl has her hands in her pockets. Why is that a story?

8 year old Georgia is from Ipswich, UK and was shopping in Sainsbury's for trousers. She was shocked to find all the girls' trousers has fake pockets.

What does fake mean?

The pockets were all sewn up. It was like girls don't really need pockets. But when Georgia went in to the boys section, the pockets were real. 

What do you think Georgia did?

Georgia bought boys trousers instead.

Is it ok for Georgia to wear boys clothes?
Do girls need pockets?
Do boys need pockets?
Do you agree or disagree?

Georgia wrote to Sainsbury's and received a reply thanking her for her letter and agreeing that girls needed pockets too. But the letter didn't say they would change the trousers. So Georgia started a petition at her school and sent it to Sainsburys.

What is a petition?

This year when Georgia returned to Sainsburys, she found they had changed their trousers for girls, and they all now had real pockets.

Why do you think Sainsbury's changed their minds?
What can we learn from this story?
Why is is it about No Outsiders?
Which British Value is is about?
