Questions to ask

• Should Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit and Piglet have thought that heffalumps were nasty creatures before they met them?
• Although it was good that Roo and Lumpy became friends, is it alright to talk to anybody we meet that we don’t know?
• Should Roo and Lumpy clean up Rabbit’s garden and Pooh’s house?
