I respect others
Respecting others is something we have been focussing on this week in Year 5 and 6, and of course it is one of our school rules – We’re respectful.
We have discussed discrimination and stereotyping and what this may look like and how the Equality Act 2010 aims to ensure that people should never suffer from these things. We have learnt a lot about our protected characteristics and children were fantastic at remembering what each one was and what it stood for.
We read about and discussed different scenarios where discrimination or stereotyping was being shown and what could be done to help others and ensure everyone is treated fairly.
- Discrimination is unfair treatment of one particular person or group of people. Usually the different treatment is because of the person’s sex, religion, nationality, ethnicity (culture), race, or other personal traits.
- Stereotype is an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic.
