What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? I will parts of this kit next year with my class at the beginning of the year. I wouldn't change anything.

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? As I have a diverse group of children already who have had a lot of circle time, mindfulness and lots of discussion we haven't really changed alot. We have maybe learned to use kind words more often between ourfselves.

“May children have thoroughly loved taking part in this kit. For me it showed that, although my class is a diverse group of children , they have non-judgemental views of the world which I did not expect. The initial activity with important people was interesting as one child had no real feelings for her brother and her parents are not her main 'safety blanket'. I would really recommend it to anyone.”

What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? We have been talking about the diffferences between teasing, mean moments, conflict, friendly banter and bullying and attempting to not be a bystander. We have done a lot of drama abound telling each other how it is for us.

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? It made the class bond together as a group more. We found out new things from each other and found it challenged the parents thinking also. One student had never mentioned the Indian side of his family as his mother had suffered a lot of discrimination wh

“This was a great kit which challenged student's thinking and perceptions of each other. Students were proud to share about themselves and their cultures and many felt the rest of the class genuinely wanted to hear what they had to say. They were able to look and consider the sterotypes they held about different groups of people and reflect on these and also examine events nationally and internationally and how a lack of tolerance and understanding can lead to issues. We loved learning to compliment each other in honest and considerate ways. Great kit!”

What impact has the introduction of the action plan had on your classroom? It integrated well into our RE curriculum, which focuses on respecting all people regardless of belief, background, ethnicity or culture. Using the strategies in the kit enhanced this message with goals and specific things we can action.

How did using this kit change the environment in your classroom? We have something concrete to refer to if people make stereotypical comments, and we can call them on it. The class feel empowered to speak up on behalf of others.

“I really enjoyed working through this process, and loved the journal and accessories that came with it. However, my class are a Y3/4 class and it was quite difficult for them to understand some of the concepts, and I was concerned that by simplifying it, I might be diluting the messages. One thing it highlighted was how our multicultural students are supported in our school environment.”
