Equality is a simple concept but also has the potential for deep understanding. As we explore it with the children, we will discuss respect and fairness, and the implications of prejudice and discrimination.
Your support and encouragement at home will go a long way to helping your child explore the concepts of equality and diversity in a positive way.
One aspect of this is for us all to recognise just what can be achieved when opportunity is equal for all. The video here is just one that we will be watching which showcases people with disabilities to show just what is possible when equality is embraced - We're The Superhumans | Rio Paralympics 2016 Trailer (youtube.com). Please watch this with your children and also ask them about the work they are doing in school around this value.
Could I encourage you to let us know if you see any wonderful examples of your child ‘living the values’. We always love to hear positive stories of the impact of our work together, both at home and at school. Please send a note in to your child’s class teacher or the school office and they will pass anything on to me – we'd love to hear from you.
