Be Kind – Assembly this week

This week, our senior leader assembly was focussed on the protected characteristic of religion or belief and the British Values of mutual respect and tolerance. I started by asking the children why they felt it was important that we learnt about different religions at school. George, in year 3, stated, “So we know what people do and how they celebrate festivals and their beliefs”. Nancy, in year 4 stated, “So we do not discriminate against people due to their belief, faith, religion or god.” Two really sensible and mature responses. We then focused on the Jewish festival of Passover.   We talked about where the term ‘Passover’ came from and discussed what they knew about the story of Moses. We discussed how Jewish people celebrate Passover and why it is an important time It was a really interesting assembly and a great way to share how Jewish people celebrate their faith
