Autumn

Year 4 & 5 - Today we joined Joseph Coelho (Poet) & Lauren Layfield (BBC Radio 1) for a special workshop in conjunction with the Premier League and the FA! We thought about diversity and culture and how this can feed into our everyday lives and football. There were also special guest footballers, Michael Rosen & McGrammar!

Year 4 & Year 5 Diversity Poem

Greatness comes from everywhere!

Our glorious gifts give so much,

We are a galaxy of shining stars.

Our hearts all sing the same song.

 

Greatness comes from everywhere!

It comes from our pure hearts,

No matter how big or small we must show care.

All different but we should be treated the same.

 

Greatness comes from everywhere!

Diversity inspires us all,

We are all filled with God’s love.

Respect one another.

 

Greatness comes from everywhere!
