For Health and Relationship Education (HRE) this week, Y5 have been discussing racism.

The term racism was explained and clarified; racism is discrimination or a negative judgement about someone due to the colour of their skin or their race and racism might include someone’s beliefs or religion.
After various discussions and scenarios, the children designed ribbons that could be used in campaigns against racism. Here are their brilliant designs!
