This week we had a Diversity feature week. We started the week with a visit from Scary Guy.
He came all the way from America to work with us and he helped us think about making our own choices and developing positive behaviour habits.
His lesson was a lot of fun and the children were really engaged.
We then had a visit from Mrs Fitter who told us about Zoroastrianism.
Mrs Fitter told us lots of interesting information about her religion.
We found out that an important message of the religion is good thoughts, good words and good deeds.
We thought that these words are important for all us to try to remember in our lives.
Mrs Fitter brought some cakes in to share with us. These would be eaten at part of a festival such as Nauroz, which is the New Year celebrated on 21st March.
Mr Chandon came to speak to the children about the Hindu festival of Diwali.
He told us about Ganesh, one of the popular Hindu gods, and we all coloured some pictures in.
We all tried a poppadum with mango chutney.
Louis was really proud of his daddy's lesson.
Mrs Hassian came to talk to us about henna and how it is used to create beautiful patterns on the skin for special occasions such a wedding in the Hindu religion.
We designed our own henna patterns on paper.
We read the story of Elmer who is a patchwork elephant.
We used the message in this story to think about what is unique about ourselves as individuals and to help us understand that everyone is special in unique ways.
We all helped to bake some elephant shaped biscuits.
We iced them with different colours and patterns.
We wanted to appreciate that difference is a positive thing and that difference is part of living in a diverse world.
