Each term, children will be introduced to different aspects of equality in class. The themes of friendship, diversity, equality will be explored through lovely picture books. Children will produce work relating to this and the topics raised will be discussed throughout the term in PSHE lessons and worship.

14 Reward system: Every day –assuming it’s been a positive one – a child should earn a proud cloud on their card. A completed card comes home and this means they can come in on the next Friday in their own clothes (not on photograph/visit/special Fridays)!
