Summer 2025
During the summer term, we have been learning about different types of families (Sexual Orientation). We listened to stories, explored images of our families and different families, and created a beautiful rainbow that showed all of our families with lots of bright colours.
Coming up, we have our yearly MATP Event (Disability) and cannot wait to show you all the fun we have had with our friends and show our parents and family members what we have been working on throughout the school year.
Spring 2025
In the Spring term, we continued to develop our understanding by celebrating Eid by listening to music, trying on religious dress, trying foods and was visited by a parent who designed henna patterns/art on our hands.
We learnt about International Women's Day at the end of February and had a selection of famous Women to research and learn about before an assembly learning about the history of International Women's Day
We celebrated Easter as a whole school day and event, making Easter crafts, learning about the Easter Story and even receiving an Easter egg/toy that was donated from a local shop.
For Race Equality Day, classes focused on what makes us unique, differences in our communities, trying different foods and comparing our cultural differences.
Autumn 2024
In Autumn, we have been exploring and learning about equality and diversity by following our rolling programme.
We started the academic year with Jeans for Genes day (disability focus), we discussed ways in which we are different how each person is unique. We promoted kindness and wellbeing and thought about what makes us special. We also raised money for charity.
In October, we celebrated Black History Month (race focus) and looked at art from a number of artists, we then had a go at recreating our own pieces and celebrated different people from around the world.
We explored different faiths and delved into Diwali and Christmas - It was so good to learn about other cultures and what is important and special to different people.
