We watched the film made by Year 4 pupils, 'The Flamingo Who Didn't Want To Be Pink'. As a class we discussed the reasons why the flamingo did not want to be the same as everyone else. Pupils then came up with stories of their own to celebrate difference and diversity; created paintings, scenery and scripts; and recorded their stories using iMovie. Pupils worked in groups of 5 and took on different roles within the group: director, editor and producer.
