Caring and Sharing addresses the concerns of 9-10 year olds (Year 5). Charlie and Alice are uprooted when their fathers find new work in another town. Parted from their old school-friends and with both their families cramped into one rented house, the cousins discover what it means to belong, to own and to share. They discover the importance of families helping each other, and that sharing extends to time, space, talents and even life itself. Living in any community, at home, at school, or in the neighbourhood at large, demands generosity, respect for others and for their property, and also the give and take of saying sorry and thank you.

Alive to the World is a new programme of Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) based on modern research which indicates that there are established patterns of behaviour which promote human well-being, and that these can be taught. For more information about the series, click here.
