Active Week 2023
High Schools across Suffolk and Essex have been developing projects aimed at standing up to and combatting discrimination and intolerance based on an awareness of what happened during the Nazi period in Germany and Nazi occupied Europe.
Dora Love was a Holocaust survivor who in the last 40 years of her life lived and worked in Colchester. She worked tirelessly to teach younger generations that the attitudes which made the Holocaust possible – intolerance, discrimination and hatred of those regarded as ‘different’ – are still alive all around us.
The Dora Love Prize is open to students in Years 7 to 10 at schools in Essex and Suffolk and is awarded for the project that best expresses Dora’s main principles: speaking up against hatred, never forgetting the consequences of seemingly small acts of discrimination and developing a sense of personal responsibility.
Students from Stowmarket High School ran workshops for Year 5 - these included, games, drama, poetry writing and discussion.
Egyptian Day. Year 5 were excited to take part in an Egyptian Day where they had a visitor in school and dressed up as Ancient Egyptians. They played games, handled artefacts, ground ingredients, learnt lots of new facts and recreated an Egyptian style boat. We also prepared a body for mummification!
Come Dine With Me! As part of Year 6's DT learning they worked in groups to make a 3 course meal, where they researched, adapted and created their meals.
