This week, we’ve been thinking about the communities we belong to.
Our school community is very important and we thought about what makes our school special.
Moortown Primary School is a happy and healthy place to learn.
What does our school logo represent?
People are linked. They look happy.
They are holding hands.
It shows friends playing together.
They are dancing and jumping so they are energetic and active.
The different colours represents different people’s skin colours.
It shows that all are invited and all are included.
Our visual ethos statement show lots of different things that are important to our school.
Our school is diverse and we looked at the different ethnicities and religions we are lucky to have in our school. Then, we found out some information and presented this data about the children in the class.
As well as understanding who we are and our own identity, we’ve been thinking about other communities we are part of.
We’re all part of our own family community.
This text helps us to recognise that other people’s families sometimes look different to our own families and that’s ok. We respect these differences.
We are all part of our own friendship community.
What is a friend?
A friend is someone…
you play with
who looks after you
that cares for you
you spend time with
you like
who hugs you if you are sad, if you want them to
who cheers you up
who is kind to you and asks you to play
Friends can be different to us and that’s ok. We should respect our friends and not leave them out.
The key message from this week is that we are all part of different communities and we respect those communities and other communities too.
Help at home: ask your child what communities they are part of and what other communities there are.
