• Cultural Aspects Day at Chelmo

  Wed 16 Feb 2022 LE

  We spent today asking questions and learning about CULTURE. Mrs Etchingham introduced the day with a whole school assembly which showed different ways that people greet each other and say hello around the world. 

  Key Stage one pupils compared pictures of bedrooms of children from around the world. "We learnt that some things are very different but we all had some things that were the same."  All children had the opportunity to consider stereotypes and how this can affect, for example, how boys and girls are sometimes treated differently.  Some classes investigated children's lifestyles in different countries. Children also looked at photographs of people and discussed if we should make judgements based on what someone looks like. Older pupils discussed stereotypes for Barbie and Ken then considered whether there are jobs that men and women can be better at. 

  We have special SMSC (Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural) themed days to provide opportunities for children to explore lifestyles and ideas that extend beyond our daily lives.

  This morning we launched Safer Internet Day with a whole school assembly led by Mr McGinn.

  Last week our pupils completed a survey about their experiences of using the Internet. Teachers used this information to plan our learning to address any issues that arose in the survey.  We sent information home to parents and carers so that we can work together to ensure that our pupils enjoy using the Internet safely.
