In our PSHE lesson, we were thinking about fairness. We started by reading a story about Harold the Giraffe and his friends. At several points in the story, we stopped to discuss if the events were fair, unfair, kind or unkind. We shared examples of times we may have found something unfair, such as not sharing toys, not sharing equipment or someone being unkind. Then, we looked at four pictures. The children had to look closely and decide if the pictures were fair or unfair. These pictures helped us to understand four new terms: reality, equality, equity and justice. The children understood that sometimes equality isn’t always the fairest and we should try to be more equitable. This means giving more support to those who need it and less to those who don’t. It was fantastic to see the children problem solving and building on each other’s ideas.
