Living and Learning – We’re all the same and all different

Our Living and Learning learning this week links with the British value of mutual respect and tolerance. We aim to promote empathy and understanding in our school, making it a happy and healthy place to learn. We celebrate diversity and challenge prejudice. We have talked about this with the children who are in school and hopefully you have had discussions after watching the ‘We’re different, we’re the same’ video, which was part of the home-learning this week.

Here are some things that children said in school this week.

People should be treated equally.

It’s not fair when people are treated differently.

We should stand up for what’s right like Rosa Parks did.

We are kind to everyone!

It is good to be different and like different things.

Good morning everyone.

Maths

When we are looking at bigger numbers, we talk about partitioning them. Learning about place value is important so you know how much each digit is worth. Watch the video about place value : https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8sfr82/articles/zw4g2nb

Look at the pictures and use what you know about counting tens and ones to count the objects.

Challenge :

Reading

Watch the video about contractions : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gubPH3WEurg

Write these words as contractions :

I am = I’m

does not

where is

there is

could not

I will

do not

Challenge : Put each contraction into a sentence.

Draw two jars and choose two different emotions and draw things in the jars that remind you of that emotion or that make you feel that emotion. Eg happy – sunshine, ice cream, friends, kittens.

Today is ‘Empathy Day’ created by  EmpathyLab.uk.

Empathy is a vital human force, creating happier children, stronger communities and a better world. We’ve never needed it more than right now. We’ll help everyone understand and experience the power of empathy through books. Scientists say that we can train our brain with stories, as the more we empathise with characters, the more we can understand other people’s feelings. Throughout the day, we’ll be running brilliant online events and fun home-based activities to help children read, connect and act using empathy. Authors, illustrators, schools, libraries, and families across the UK will be taking part and we’d love for you to join in! Join in here : https://www.empathylab.uk/empathy-day-20204bde2d62

Knowing that we are all the same but different is important for children. Here is a story to watch : https://youtu.be/hUrjb4SZnxg

Have a look at the pictures and think about how you are feeling today. Draw a picture of how you felt yesterday and how you feel today. Are they the same? Emotions change all the time and it is ok to have different emotions. They don’t last forever.
