Worship and assemblies

The Shine Team are entering the 2025 Spirited Arts completion. The children can choose from a number of themes on which to base their entry. Our Shine team have chosen the theme ‘living in a diverse world.’

The shine team have spent the last few weeks thinking about diversity and why having a diverse community is important and is something to be celebrated, respected and encouraged.

The children have have created a piece of art work to represent diversity in our community and written two poems to share their views on the importance of diversity, respect and tolerance.

The children have shared some lovely ideas about how we can ensure our community is a safe and welcoming place for all people.

They will enter the competition in June

Respect

Be kind and respectful to anyone you see

Even if they are different,

Let’s embrace and celebrate who people are and who they want to be.

If someone has a different colour of skin,

Don’t treat them rudely

Respect all ideas whether they come from the young or the old:

All stories are worth being told.

There are people who have a religion and those who have none

We should stand up for discrimination until it is gone.

Compassionate and caring is what we should be

We will always have differences

which are wonderful to see.

By Malachi

Diversity

It matters that we are different

It matters because…

Diversity starts conversation

We can celebrate the differences of who we are

The world would be a better place with more celebration

We can learn from each other

It matters because…

We should show kindness and not judgement

We should be proud of who we are.

Diversity, it matters.
