PSHE - WALT: Understand discrimination

Watch the film (you may wish to stop at approx 3.26 as the message has been made clear by this point). 

Discuss:

  • What do you think the people were feeling? (Unhappy, rejected, excluded).
  • Why do you think they were feeling that way?
  • Do you think their feelings were justified?

Video

Are there any circumstances when people being treated differently makes sense and has a reason behind it? Examples include:

  • Age – film categories for example.
  • Gender – to protect privacy.
  • Religion – food, clothing, places and opportunities for prayer.
Read the story of Rosa Parks below.


  • Why do you think she refused to move when asked to?
  • What do you think was her strongest emotion at the time?
  • Why did the bus driver think he could do act as he did?
  • What do you think might have given Rosa hope when she was in jail?
  • Why do you think Rosa Parks has become famous?
  • What do you think people admire about the way she carried out about her protest? 

Imagine the sorts of feelings and behaviours that ‘otherness’ might cause. Use the 2nd part of the Rosa Parks Activity sheet below to record your thinking.

P.E. WALT: Stay fit and healthy

If you are well enough, take part in a Joe Wicks workout. If you would prefer to take part in a different physical activity, you are welcome to do so.

If you have any time after, think of a wellbeing activity that you can do. This might be more exercise, playing a musical instrument or listening to music.

Next week's spellings:

tough

although

borough

bough

toughest

distraught

Have a great weekend.

I hope to see you next week.

Take care,

Mr Smith

Hello Everyone, We just wanted to tell you about the ‘Gloucestershire Rockstars Championship’ that you’re all going to have the chance to take part in next week. It’s a tournament against lots of other schools in the area that will be played using Times Tables Rock Stars. The tournament itself will run over three days from 12th – 14th May between 10am and 1pm each day. The idea is that you will try to answer as many questions as you can during those times. You’ll earn a point for each correct answer and these will be counted to work out the highest scoring individuals, classes and schools. This event is optional, but it would be brilliant if we can get as many of you involved as possible! You don’t need to be on it continuously, just go on for as long as suits you between 10am and 1pm.
