Identity forms part of our Living and Learning curriculum where children learn about similarities and differences and how we should respect ourselves and others too.
There are things that are the same or different that are immediately obvious (physical features) as well as things you cannot see such as things you like doing, your religion or your family.
There are lots of things the same about us all but everyone is different too – nobody is exactly the same, everyone is unique.
No-one is good at everything but everyone is good at something.
We listened to the story, It’s ok to be different by Todd Parr.
Then, we did an activity to create our own imaginary creatures. Maybe you could have a go at this at home too? First, we had to draw the head and fold over the paper. Then, after swapping it with a friend we added the imaginary creature’s body. We folded the paper again and finally we swapped it with another friend to add the legs and feet. These were our finished creatures!
On Identity Day, we enjoyed sharing our differences and what makes us unique.
