Holocaust Memorial Day Remembered

All our children in year 6 took part in live lessons with Heidi Argent.  Heidi is one of the living survivors of the holocaust.  Heidi shared her story in a very poignant lesson with the children.  Although the holocaust is a horrific chapter in human history, it is important that our children are part of our commitment to learn about the holocaust, remember the survivors and ensure that this can never be repeated.

Comments from our children about the lesson included:

"It taught how the Jewish people were treated.  I learnt that everybody should be equal."

"The personal insight from Heidi opened a up a window into how horrible the Jewish people were treated and made me determined not to ever allow this to happen again"
