Big Question: Equality or Equity

Class: Year 5 Year: 2022 - 2023

Equality or Equity?

We began our half term thinking about what this means exactly.

We worked together to solve a problem of stacking cups without being able to use our hands and instead some string and an elastic band. We had lots of ways of solving the problem, but then Mrs Gaskell and Mrs Moncrief kept 'accidentally' knocking them down which wasn't fair.

Mrs Gaskell also tried to help those of us with injuries or pain. She gave each of us a plaster - even for tooth ache! It was funny, but the serious point was that it isn't right to treat everyone the same. This really got us thinking.
