Respect

We start by learning to respect ourselves and to be proud of all that we do. This leads us to respect one another, to value diversity and difference and to show respect for our learning, our school community and the world we live in. On this page you will find lots of links to resources and ideas to help you explore and reflect on the value of Respect.

Values in Action

Walk with Amal
​We learned about Respect for immigrants and refugees as we joined Amal the giant walking puppet, who had walked all the way from the Syrian/Turkish border across 8000km and 8 countries and finally arrived in the UK. Year 5 were on Deptford High Street to give her a very warm and special welcome along with lots of other children from Lewisham schools! As Lewisham's first School of Sanctuary St. Mary's had a very special part to play and accompanied Amal with giant bunting down the high street to Giffin Square where a huge poster was hanging which had been created by Years 5 and 6.  We gave Amal a giant Paddington sticker. Remember Paddington Bear was also a refugee like Amal!

Sparks of Faith
​This project supported the children in learning about respect for different Faiths. Year 3 collaborated with Artists and developed their Artistic skills. As part of a 2 day workshop, the children worked as a team to produce 6 collages around the theme of ”Sparks of Faith”. They reflected on different Religions and learned about their practices and beliefs. The children then used magazines, paint and their environment as sources of inspiration for their work. The religious symbols were displayed at a local Art Gallery.
