Year 1 Explore Identity and Celebrating Our Differences

This week, Year 1 took part in a very important lesson all about identity and what makes each of us unique. We were lucky to have a guest speaker join us to talk about racism and why it’s so important to treat everyone with fairness and respect.

The children watched a short Sesame Street clip that helped us begin a thoughtful discussion about our differences—such as our interests, families, appearances, and backgrounds. It was wonderful to see the pupils confidently sharing their ideas and recognising that although we are all different, nobody should ever be discriminated against because of those differences.

We are incredibly proud of how maturely the children approached this topic and how openly they celebrated the things that make each of us special.
