A reception class teacher used this activity in her whole-class circle time.The ‘saying sorry’ game was projected onto her whiteboard and the alternative endings to the story discussed. She asked the questions:

• Should Dottie and Buzz tell the truth? Why?

• Is it easy to tell the truth?

• What may happen if Dottie blames Buzz?

• Do you sometimes blame someone else for the things you do?

• What is Dottie doing when she says it wasn’t her?

• Why do people sometimes lie?

The website was later used by the children independently to explore the different endings and to listen and sing along with the ‘saying sorry’game.
