Symbols

LI: To create a labelled diagram (information picture)

This week we have been learning the main reasons behind using the celebration symbols. We used our researching skills to find the key ideas behind the celebration. The purpose of this activity is to help us learn what the symbols mean and how and why they are used it that celebration.

I found this activity fun because I was able to learn all different symbols for each celebration.

Mapping Celebration

LI: To understand that celebrations cross the cultural barriers around the world

This week we have been looking at where different celebrations are held around the world. We used our smart searching skills to locate countries/places where Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Eid, Christmas and Diwali are celebrated. The objective of this activity was to build an understanding of how despite cultural barriers, people should still respect and acknowledge other celebrations.

I found this activity surprising because attempting this activity showed me how many different celebrations that are celebrated world wide.
