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.
