5th Class Laurel have been learning about neurodiversity this week, in keeping with the theme of the month 'Diversity and Inclusion'.
What is “neurodiversity”?
Neurodiversity means that we are all different in how we think, feel, and learn, because our brains process information differently. The word neurodiversity has two parts, which can help you to remember what it means.
Neuro refers to your brain. Like “neuron”, a word for the cells in your brain.
Diversity means differences. Your whole class is diverse, not just in the way you look or what you enjoy doing, but also in the way your brains work and how you think, feel, and learn. The class then completed an activity where they listened to the same teacher instructions but each student's final picture turned out different and unique, showing how our minds interpret things in their own creative way!
