EQUALITY
Treating others as you want to be treated
Equality gives us the right to act,
speak, or think in our own way.
It allows us to be individuals and to
be who we want to be!
Can you guess the word?
Clue: Being ‘different’ or ‘varied’
Diversity...
When we have equality to live and be
who we want to be, it results in an
interesting mix of people.
Diversity is a mix of things...
A mix of food
What is good about a society which celebrates diversity?
A mix of music and dance
A mix of sports
A mix of fashion
Without equal rights, we wouldn’t be
able to appreciate the achievements
of some amazing disabled people
Our world with diversity
Our world without diversity
Which type of world is more interesting?
What do you think – and why?
Respecting difference
With equality and diversity comes a need
to RESPECT difference!
Do you want to live in a world where we
can be who we want to be, listen to the
music we like, eat the foods we enjoy,
dress how we like to dress etc?
Then we must remember that the person
next to us has the right to do the same.
And they are likely to be different...
Remember...
If we didn’t have freedom to be who we
want to be and to be different, the
world would be a boring place...
Celebrate difference
 This week observe differences and
diversity in people around you.
 Different ways people dress, act, eat,
think, speak etc.
 Then celebrate their differences and
think about how it makes them unique
and special and adds to our diverse and
interesting culture!
This month is
Black History Month…
Rosa Parks stood up for
EQUALITY!
I have a dream that my
four little children will
one day live in a nation
where they will not be
judged by the colour of
their skin, but by the
content of their
character.
Martin
Luther-King
How does Equality
do this?
A quiet moment of prayer or reflection...
Equality
A quiet moment of prayer or reflection...
As we reflect,
think about how equality
makes the world
a better place to be.
Here in our school
Let us be peaceful at all times.
Let our rooms be full of happiness
and respect for each other.
Let love be in our hearts
With kindness and compassion for all.
Let us remember
In learning together,
We grow together
And succeed together.
A prayer for all of us
What are the
consequences of not
treating people with
quality?
Why do some
people treat
others unfairly?
What is it called if
you treat someone
unfairly because of
their gender or race
or disability or age or
religion?
Did you know that
DISCRIMINATION
is ILLEGAL
in this country?
What can you do to
help to make YOUR
world a more fair
place?
Thank you for
listening
so considerately and
respectfully to our
Values Assembly.
