This unit is an integrated unit covering a whole term's work. Students will investigate why we follow particular traditions, particularly the celebrations attached to them and will look at some of the different celebrations held by different cultures around the world and what they mean. The unit aims to help students understand that traditions and celebrations are important across cultures, and that we should respect each others traditions. While cultures may be different there are also lots of similarities and the same things are important to many cultures, and that people of different cultures with different traditions and celebrations can co-exist.
