During December we will be sharing the lesson plans published by Highland Council’s Equalities Improvement Group and LGBTI+ sub-group to support the development of Equality and Diversity across the curriculum. 18 picture books have been selected; for each picture book there have been lessons created for Early – Fourth Levels (Curriculum for Excellence) driven by the Literacy and English and Health and Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes.

Today’s Lesson: ‘And Tango Makes Three’ – Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell

Roy and Silo are just like the other penguin couples at the zoo – they bow to each other, walk together and swim together. But Roy and Silo are a little bit different – they’re both boys

‘And Tango Makes Three’ is a brilliant story which explores different families through a family of penguins, challenging the fairytale stereotype of a family being a man, a woman and children. This text celebrates that all families are different.
