We relate this to our 3 School Rules - one of which is Be Respectful. What does this look like in school? How can we show respect to others in school? And how can we show respect to ourselves too?

We agree with the concept of earning respect through our words and actions. We should give respect without expecting it back in some cases. For example Falcon and Captain America were close friends who were very respectful and this was shown when the mantle was passed on as a sign of respect to Falcon. From all in 6W ##### Mr Mackley *9 June 2021* Indeed 6W, Falcon and the Captain were great friends and they had to earn each others' respect. Carrying on with one of those characters, Falcon and the Winter Soldier were at one point enemies but whilst not necessarily friends, they have learned to respect each other and work together for the good of others. This is exactly what Christ calls us to do, show respect and be respectful, to put aside any differences we have and work together for good! ### 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/)
