4 images of zoo animals in a 'cage&'. To be laminated and hole-punched, or stuck onto thick card and small snips at the top and bottom edges made. The children can then lace a thread or weave some string/wool, depending on their fine motor ability. Their lacing/weaving will become the bars of the cage.

SSEHV stands for Sathya Sai Education through Human Values, a PSED teaching method in many schools. Based on core human values of Love, Peace, Truth, Non Violence and Right Conduct.
The SSEHV lesson brings on various elements - a quotation to talk about, a warm-up game, a silent sitting/meditation, a story and discussion/questions, a song, and then a game or activity.
This lesson plan has been put together to focus on non-violence, and basic respect of similarities and differences, and what we can learn from the peace loving plant eating dinosaurs.
