AnonyMouse_11396 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Hi and welcome to the forum. Diversity enriches our experiences, and is embedded in all that we do in our setting, it helps us become good citizens and promotes a sense of community. So how do we try to make it happen. Although we do explore Festivals, Celebrations etc throughout the year, we decided some time ago that we would choose a country from around the world each half-term and explore all the similarities and differences that make us all so special. This could be languages, climate, foods, clothing, animals, stories, songs, homes, musical instruments, with pictures, posters, books, maps, art and objects. We also look at our local community and share and celebrate throughout the year, this could be Harvest Festival and giving gifts to others, taking part in our local carnival,a Christingle service at our local church. or a funday. We look at the people that help us such as the Fire service, Police service, Ambulance service and arrange for them to visit. We also work hard as a team, to respect eachothers strengths and weaknesses and give support if required. We value each family, and promote an environment that is open to all. Not sure i have put it down well on paper but hope you get the gist. Edited November 2, 2010 by bridger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
