The New Jumper

By Oliver Jeffers

What this book is about

The Hueys are all the same but one day Rupert knits an orange jumper. This causes much consternation and Rupert is treated as an outsider until Gillespi also wears an orange jumper.  Over time, the Hueys learn that its ok to be different and many also choose to wear an orange jumper!  This book gives children the opportunity to talk about difference and how, sometimes, people can act fiercely towards someone who is different and why they might do this.

Our book for the Spring 2nd half term is:

The Truth About Old People

By Elina Ellis

What this book is about

The Truth About Old People is a wonderfully illustrated book about a boy’s experience of being with his grandparents.  At the start, the text follows a traditional stereotype, however as the story goes on, he finds that his grandparents lead very rich and exciting lives!  The children will have the opportunity to explore the term ‘stereotype’ and how sometimes we may stereotype different people; how do we recognise a stereotype, and what can we do if we hear someone being discriminatory?
