Over the past few weeks we have been investigating different celebrations and commemorations.

Students made a timeline of their own family celebrations. They then sorted them into celebrations and commemorations.

We then went global! They learnt about one celebration from one country in one continent. They developed their research skills and learnt how books are a valuable resource to find information. Students were then grouped with others and shared what they had discovered.

Students are discovering that celebrations are based on religion, people and special events. Communities have celebrations because they value something.
