Overview
Watch a read-aloud version of the book ‘What is the Law?’, in which a hedgehog called Snippet finds out about the law. The book has been separated into four chapters for the video. At the end of each chapter, you can pause it to talk about what has been covered. The link to the video can be found in the teacher notes along with suggested discussion areas.
By the end of the session, pupils should have a basic understanding of what the law is and how much it affects their lives.
This read-aloud story has been narrated by the author and illustrator, Liz Gifford, to help all children understand the law.
