We emphasised the importance of respecting everyone's idea of family. Then, in small groups, they got a picture of a family and made up a story about them. They were reminded to be respectful and think about different kinds of families. We spoke about stereotypes, and how stereotyping isn't good because it makes people think everyone in a group is the same. But people are all different. Stereotypes can make us treat others unfairly because we don't see them as individuals. It's important to understand everyone is unique and not judge them based on stereotypes. This helped the children understand that families can be different and that's okay. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-FDC5D825-F5D6-47E6-A878-45EE0E8C29B4.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Discussions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/british-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2219.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-28-year-4-pshe-rights-and-respect) Previous ### [Year 4 PSHE - Rights and Respect ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-28-year-4-pshe-rights-and-respect) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-292D0036-94BB-4496-B1B5-A28CF6103F0A.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-29-year-3-class-worship-r-e-how-does-jesus-change-lives) Next ### [Year 3- Class Worship-R.E- How does Jesus change lives?](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-29-year-3-class-worship-r-e-how-does-jesus-change-lives) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
