Celebrating Equality and Diversity
Following on from our successful ‘Dress to Express’ Day, we are continuing to learn more about equality and diversity as part of February’s Diversity Awareness Month.
In class, your children will learn more about these terms through a variety of activities and discussions.
To help your children accept themselves and others as they are, this picture book about diversity will help them to respect all the differences that make us unique.
Please enjoy reading it together.
Dress to Express
Friday is Dress to Express Day at Drongan Primary School. As you may know, this week we are supporting and raising awareness of Children’s Mental Health. Supported by Place2Be the theme of this year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is ‘My Voice Matters’.
Pupils and staff are asked to help raise awareness on Friday, 2nd February by dressing to express. You may choose to dress in your favourite colour. You might choose a colour which expresses how you’re feeling or wear your hair in a certain way. Either way, Friday is Dress to Express Day and your chance to express yourself!
As you know, it has never been more important to support our pupils’ mental health and wellbeing. We all play an important role. If you would like to check out Place2Be’s free resources, please visit their website.
