Why are religious celebrations important to some people but not to others?

How do Hindus celebrate Diwali and Christians celebrate Christmas?

We will start by learning about Diwali and then Christmas. Later in the term, we will compare both celebrations and find out if they have anything in common. 

Key skills that we will be exploring and developing:

• I can tell you/ talk about what concepts like belonging, commitment, kindness, forgiveness mean to me in my world 

• I can verbalise and/or express my own thoughts 

• I can recall facts about the religious/beliefs I have studied, begin to use the religious vocabulary and start to explain the significance and meaning of the facts, practices etc.

•  I can start to think through the enquiry question using some facts and am beginning to see there could be more than one answer
