Year 5 This Is Me – Same But Different!

Mrs Elkin

5 Blue have been looking at disabilities today as part of ‘This is me’ week. We discussed disabilities that can be seen, and also those that are invisible. The children thought about how people with disabilities are able to continue to do every day things, and how challenges are overcome. We decided that disabled people were inspirational, and that equity plays a part in ensuring that opportunities are not only equal, but fair too. 

Watch Alesha’s story about her life with the medical condition Asthma, and answer the questions below.
