Morals and Values Education
The Crossover
When animals are going missing in their town Gemma, Ned and Matt investigate to find out what is going on. Matt’s cat Boots has gone missing and so they check out the park where there is a strange noise coming from the water. When the children use a frozen chicken on a rod as bait they are amazed to see what happens, the chicken is taken by a crocodile, what on earth should they do now?
Teaching Points
Develops values:
- The self, recognising that we are unique human beings capable of spiritual, moral, intellectual and physical growth and development
- The book encourages children to achieve and be good at what they do where ‘good’ is a commonly shared value of excellence and achievement.
- relationships as fundamental to the development and fulfilment of ourselves and others, and to the good of the community. We value others for themselves, not only for what they have or what they can do for us
- society we value truth, freedom, justice human rights and the collective effort for the common good.
