We have been also exploring assumptions in PSHE and how people can make false assumptions. People have done this to us based on our religion, skin colour, our age and our gender. Even though we are only Year 5s, we can do great things as part of God's plan :) ##### 6W *17 May 2021* The song was very entertaining and we enjoyed the story of David being chosen for his heart. That no matter how small you are you can still be of use to God. It reminded Mr Ward of Captain America. How he was chosen for his heart and goodness! From all in 6W ##### Mr Mackley *17 May 2021* Wonderful comments, thank you! 5R you are so right, it doesn't matter how young you are, God can do great things through you as he proved with David! 6W, you too are absolutely correct! Mr Ward and I are both big Marvel fans and I agree about Captain America, they took someone that no one would have thought could be so great but they saw the goodness in him and that he would always work for good. ##### 3C *17 May 2021* Children in class explained how it is important that we don't judge people before we get to know them and know what they're like on the inside. We can't judge people as we don't always know what they've been through. ##### 4S *17 May 2021* We had a little discussion about the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover' and this is what we thought: -We don't always know everything about everyone. -Don't have an opinion about others before getting to know them. -Everyone can have a good heart, it doesn't matter what they look like. -It's what is on the inside that counts. -We should not guess people's personalities. -Wait and see before making any judgments. ##### Mr Mackley *17 May 2021* Great comments 3C and 4S, thank you! ### Leave a Comment - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stmatthewspreston.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
