We were delighted to welcome the Shades Team into school to lead a special collective worship celebrating Black history. Through engaging stories, music and thoughtful discussion, the children learned about inspirational Black figures and the important contributions they have made to our world. The session encouraged curiosity, respect and reflection, helping pupils to understand the value of diversity and the importance of treating everyone with kindness and fairness. It was a meaningful and uplifting experience enjoyed by children and staff alike.

Today we had a visit from the lovely 'Shades' team with Manchester Diocese. They gave a collective worship to the whole school with singing and lots of learning about being an ally to others and ensuring we are always treating everyone equally. We then had a super workshop with the team where they came to our classroom and taught us the power of language and how positive and negative language can affect our relationships. We used compliments to make others happy and learnt about the words that can be used to harm others and why they're so damaging. 5C should be so proud of themselves. They gave thoughtful and considered answers, holding mature and respectful conversations.

We also enjoy making up our own stories and bringing them to life using musical instruments and actions. Throughout the classroom, there are plenty of opportunities for writing in all areas. Each week, we learn new vocabulary linked to our current topic.
