Holocaust Memorial Day

Dear Parents/Carers

We shared some thoughts about justice and fairness in the world at the start of our Staff Meeting this week. We thought about the world we live in today and the world in the past. Wednesday is Holocaust Memorial Day. The theme this year is to bring light into the darkness. There is an invitation to show solidarity against hatred, prejudice and discrimination by placing a candle (safely) on a windowsill at 8pm on Wednesday evening. Some difficult issues to raise with children about current issues of persecution and genocide but also to teach them that they have a voice.

This is a very powerful video about the importance of using our voices to stand up for others. Hopefully, you may find an opportunity to use it with some of our older children
