Man & Animal
Around the age of nine, children begin to see themselves as separate from the world. In this block, we explore the human being as a balance of thinking, feeling, and willing, and compare this with animals that show these qualities in specialised ways. Through stories and observation, children develop a deeper understanding of themselves and a connection with the animal world.
