Celebrating uniqueness week

Last week the whole school celebrated uniqueness. We discussed what this meant and that it is a positive to be different.

On Tuesday, to celebrate, everyone wore odd socks. In Maple Class we collected data about the different socks that people had on and then made a bar chart. The most popular socks were plain. The next most popular socks were stripy and the third most popular socks were animal related.

 

We also played the ‘up/down’ game. The children sat in a circle and when a statement was true about them they stood up. All the children left sat down applauded those stood up and celebrated their uniqueness. Statements varied about eye/hair colour, months they were born, whether they had siblings, how they traveled to school and other similar things.

We then spoke about how it made those children stood up feel. Some felt nervous to begin with but then some children started feeling proud that they were different.
