Year 3 love this story. We could see the link between this story and the self-belief that Barnabus showed in his story.
We discussed how Vashti felt at the start of the story:
Noor-Ul said- miserable
Phoebe said- grumpy
Alex said- sad
Jenson said- angry with herself
We discussed these being negative feelings.
Who believed in Vashti?
Charlie T- the teacher.
We discussed the word ‘encouragement’ and how important this is for your self belief. The children recognised that Vashti then went on to encourage the boy and that her feelings had changed.
Elsie said- she was feeling confident and proud
Charlie R said- she was pleased with herself
We linked this story to our work on having a growth mindset.

The teacher helped Yashti see her art differently (see it better) by framing it.
Barnabus had self-belief because even though Pip said it was impossible for them to break free, Barnabus believed in himself and managed to free himself and ALL the other failed projects.
