Celebrating Together
Understanding The World
Recognise that people have different beliefs and celebrate special times in different ways.
Weave opportunities for children to engage with religious and cultural communities and their practices throughout the curriculum at appropriate times of the year. Help children to begin to build a rich bank of vocabulary with which to describe their own lives and the lives of others.
