Year 5 
 
Throughout the week, our British Values and RE lessons have served as a dynamic platform, fostering stimulating discussions and active participation among our pupils. This intentional approach aims to enhance pupil self-confidence, collaboration, and oracy skills. 
 
In one session, we centred our discussions on individuals who inspire us and why. Pupils were given the opportunity to delve into open-ended questions, such as: 
  • If you could inspire positive change in the world, what would it be, and how would you go about achieving it? 
  • Imagine having dinner with anyone, living or not. Who would it be, and what questions would you ask about their life? 
  • Do you believe it's essential to have inspirational figures in our lives? Why or why not? 
  • How can we inspire others to be kind and helpful? Can you share a story or idea that might encourage people to be more caring? 
 
Students explored a diverse array of suggestions, ranging from Olympic athletes, footballers, astronauts, authors, inventors, and many others. Following this, students had the opportunity to utilize Chromebooks for researching individuals who inspire them. 
 
In our British Values lesson, pupils delved into the concept of Individual Liberty— the freedom to make personal choices without oppression. Engaging discussions revolved around how they would feel if someone dictated their friendships, snack choices, or if they were subjected to the rules of a dystopian corporate sponsorship of our school! Pupils also engaged in lively debates about 'what rules would you implement if you were in charge of our class for a week?' 
 
It was great to see pupils taking the opportunity to express their opinions and share their views with others.
