Year 6 pupils from Shipley CE Primary School have turned teachers as they give tours of an exhibition on the life and legacy of Anne Frank to parents, governors, staff from BDAT and the school community this week.
Working with The Anne Frank Trust UK, children have been trained with the skills and knowledge to lead presentations on an exhibition in school.
The physical exhibition has been in school for 2 weeks and is interactive with the guided tours proving to have a lasting impact on all who visit. The children have presented to other classes in school, parents and members of the local community recently. The project teaches about the roots and consequences of prejudice.
Shipley CE Primary School is on Otley Road, Shipley and part of the successful Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust which leads a family of fourteen primaries and four secondaries across the region to deliver high quality education within the context of Christian belief and practice.
Mr Hamilton, Head Teacher at Shipley C of E Primary School, said:
“This is such a vital project; educating both our children here in school and people in the community. The importance of two of our key school values of love and respect are underlined by the story of Anne Frank. Our children have learnt so much, but, more importantly, are now fantastically strong spokespeople so that her experiences and legacy are never forgotten. I am very proud of how they have committed to this important work.
