B Watch me, then you4 min

Ola's class has children who speak more than one language and eat different lunches. Look at the colours. Each one is different, and each one is special.

A bright classroom with a world map on the wall and a tray of coloured pencils

Watch me

Each colour is different from the others.

None of the colours is better than another.

Every child in Ola's class is different too.

No child is better than another, and everyone is welcome.

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. happy If your child circles stormy, ask: is that the sunny end or the stormy end? Point to the sunny end together and say the feeling aloud.

2. fair If your child circles unfair, ask: did one child get more turns? Count the marks in each row together.

3. thanks If your child circles go away, ask: would this make your friend feel sunny or stormy? Talk about how a kind word feels.

B

1. Not true: Every child has the same birthday. · True in the UK: People here come from lots of places., Some children speak two languages.

C

1. diversity → how people can be different from one another; nationality → the country a person belongs to; fairly → treating each person kindly and equally

2. fairly If your child circles diversity, ask: is this about how people are different, or how Mrs Khan treats everyone? Read the meanings together.

3. Sunny: Everyone gets a turn on the slide. · Stormy: Ali is left out of the game.

4. Look for: One way a child is different from a friend, in simple words.

D

1. Look for: Ben is wrong because different food is not worse, and being different does not make someone less important. If your child agrees with Ben, ask: does being different make food or a person worse? Remind them that everyone should be treated fairly.

E

1. Look for: A simple idea for celebrating differences, with a reason such as everyone feels welcome.

Words to use

Say“Tell me one way you are the same as a friend, and one way you are different. Which difference do you like?”

Instead of“Say that everyone is the same really, or that being different is a problem.”

After the sheet

Look at a book or a game from a friend's home together, with their permission. Talk about one thing you both like about it.
