Interfaith week (13/03/2017)

 Last week the internationalism team held an interfaith week which was launched with Key stage 2 assembly on Monday and KS1 on Tuesday.   The focus for this week was to reflect as a community on what it means to “belong” and explore ideas of being included or excluded because of what we look like or what we believe or think. Our inspiration for this came from this thought provoking phrase:

“We are all different fish swimming in the same ocean”

The week included workshops for each class from Nursery to Year 6, using P4C stimuli (see video clip above) and questions to encourage pupils and staff to reflect on the things that make us different but also to recognise and consider the deeper values that we share and join us together. At the end of the workshops pupils were set a challenge to decorate their own fish (in a unique, special way) and write values that were important to them.

 

 

 

During the week pupils were the given the opportunity to take part in “reflection stations” in the learning zone at lunchtimes. These will be in the learning zone for parents and children to use during parent consultations on Wednesday and Thursday.
