Class build: butterflies! Ss read poems written by children of the Terezin concentration camp. They create a butterfly to represent the child. In the end, Ss will discover whether “their” child survived. If not, theirs will be cut down. A powerful image that lasts a long time.

In 2012, a herd of elephants walked for 12 hours to the house of Lawrence Anthony ( the man who had saved them) following his passing, even though no one alerted them to the event
They stood around the house in an apparent vigil for two days, in quiet contemplation
Exactly a year later, on the anniversary of his passing, the same herd once more made the journey to his house.
