* This week we are looking at the importance of diversity as part of Black History Month.
* Watch the video on the blog. St Maxentius children have produced a fantastic video this for this week, looking at diversity.
* There are lots of examples in the Bible where God shows us that we should share and care for each other, irrespective of background?
* Why is it important to celebrate diversity?
* Why is it important and the right thing to do to treat everyone fairly and with respect? What sort of world would we live in if everyone was the same?
* What examples does Jesus give us on this subject?
* Use your window, door and mirror key rings to reflect on not giving up. How do you feel now? What have you discovered? What will you take away from this week’s Ethos to Go?

We understand that we learn so much more from each other because we are all different. We are able to experience different foods, fashions and fun when we connect with people all over the world.

We are all different, we like different things and have different interests and that's ok. This makes our world a much more interesting place.

It is important to treat everyone with respect because we are all people. We believe that it is important to celebrate the differences between us all as a class but also as a nation. We are proud to live in Britain as we are allowed to be ourselves.

Diversity is a great thing, we get to experience and learn about a range of different cultures/religions etc. If everyone was the same we wouldn't have the amazing positive impacts that we have seen throughout Britain and the world.

We learnt that your race, religion and culture all determine who you are, and you should be proud of that. We can be free to celebrate our differences in the UK.

It is important to respect everyones differences and celebrate them like our eye colour, our favourite games/sports to play, hair colour & the clothes we wear. We should treat everyone equally and with respect.

I think it is important to treat everyone fairly and have respect for them because we are all unique and we should all share our differences. Always celebrate your uniqueness and always be happy!

The Good Samaritan is an example from the Bible. Even though Jesus did't mix with samaritans, the Samaritan helped the jew. Another example is when Jesus' decibel doesn't let the children come to Jesus. He tells them they are close to God.

If we were all the same, listened to the same music, ate the same food, played the same sport and all liked the same colour the world would be a boring place. Diversity is amazing and we should embrace and respect everyone!

In M2, we appreciate diversity. Matthew believes that it is important that we celebrate our differences to show respect and love. If we treat someone in a kind and loving way, they will reciprocate this and we will live in a happy world.

I think it is important to be unique because the world wouldn't be the same. Imagine if we all had the same dislikes and likes,everyone would eat the same food and have the same feelings !
