Equity vs Equality
We have been learning about the difference between equality and equity!
This afternoon we have been learning about equality and equity. Five children lined up at the front of the classroom and pretended that they needed plasters for different body parts, but I only gave them a plaster for the same place that the first person had needed it for. We then discussed how, by treating everybody exactly the same, I had only helped one person with their need.
This was a fantastic discussion point and I was so impressed with the thoughtful and honest responses from the children. We talked about things that we find difficult and might need extra support for, whilst recognising that we won't always need the same things as other people.
I really enjoyed doing this activity with Team Hayzelden today!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Hayzelden
