Understanding other peoples beliefs

As part of our unit of inquiry on "Who we are belief system" the class paired up and researched with their partner one of the top 6 major faiths.



These being Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Shintoism, Hinduism and Judaism.




The children had to find facts about their faith under the following headings
History
Belief
Place of worship
Celebrations
Holy books and symbols
Daily practices




It was great listening to them discuss the different faiths. Some they had heard of some they hadn't.
The message that seems to be the same in all the faiths is that we all need to be tolerant of other peoples beliefs and values.

Just because someone is of a certain faith does not mean they are bad as portrayed sometimes in the media.
