Do you remember this story? We read it in term one. Amelia Ellicott has lived in the same house for many years, during which time the neighbourhood has changed dramatically. A crisis moves the situation from one where Amelia and her neighbours are seperate and lonely, to one where they work together, care for one another, and share their lives.
Your task: share this story with your family, and discuss these questions together:
- Why didn't Amelia share her garden with her neighbours?
- Should neighbours share?
- Do you have to know someone to be a neighbour?
- What does it mean to be neighbourly?
Remember, no wrong answers, so long as you use the word "because".
1.Because she was too shy, because she didn’t know them and they were different to what she knew growing up
ReplyDelete2.Yes because it is good to share
