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!
