Anti-Racism Workshops
On Monday we were joined by Miss Lawton a previous teacher and now a Human Rights Barrister who also set up a company called ARISE (Anti Racism in Schools & Education).
KS2 classes all took part in fantastic workshops which through a range of engaging activities, the workshop explored equality, fairness and prejudice. Children were presented with stories and scenarios and began to explore:
What is right and what is wrong
Our rights and responsibilities as human beings
Vocabulary around equality, in particular discrimination, prejudice and racism.
Different communities in Britain, discussing the importance of treating everybody fairly regardless of who they are, what language they speak and what they look like.
Examples and stories of racism, encouraging children to think about why it is wrong and how it may make a victim feel
EYFS and KS1 children also had an assembly and activities led by their class teachers to discuss diversity and celebrate their differences.
