In the lesson, children learn about emotions and the importance of expressing them honestly. The teacher introduces the character George, a giant who feels sad due to his scruffy appearance, from “The Smartest Giant in Town” by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler. As the story unfolds, George demonstrates generosity and kindness by giving his tie to a giraffe with a cold neck, showcasing the positive impact of helping others.
