Following the attacks in Paris on Friday 13th November, cities around the world turned their landmarks red, white and blue as a mark of respect, showing support for France.

- What buildings do you recognise in the picture?
- Why are other buildings around the world lit up using the colours red, white and blue?
- There are people in those cities who are Male, Female, Transgender, Black, White, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Gay, Lesbian, and of different ages, disabilities and nationalities, yet in this picture they are all showing the French flag - what does this say about people who are different around the world?
- Why do we say the are "No Outsiders" in our school - what do we say about people who have different faith and people who are from different countries?
- If you could speak to someone in Paris now, what would you say?
