We Are All Different: A Celebration of Diversity!

Product Information

This We Are All Different and That Is Beautiful Inspirational Poster has been designed to encourage children to think positively about their differences and what makes them unique and how this is embraced and celebrated in the classroom. The Dalai Lama wrote that 'finding common ground among faiths can help us bridge needless divides, at a time when unified action is more crucial than ever.' Finding out more about another religion may help you understand the multiple beliefs, cultures, traditions and histories of people in your country, and learn how these have shaped the society you live in. If you have friends of a different religion, why not ask them to tell you a little about it? And if you have children, why not teach them about world religions? Ongoing Covid restrictions, reduced air and freight capacity, high volumes and winter weather conditions are all impacting transportation and local delivery across the globe. Each Twinkl Originals story comes with a collection of teaching resources to inspire cross-curricular learning. You can also join Twinkl's own children's book club (UK only) to have a printed book delivered to your door every half-term.

The overall message of the story - that everyone is unique, and that there's no right or wrong way of being - will help make your classroom a more friendly and accepting environment, where children get on with one another regardless of their differences. We Are All Different: What Makes You Special? PowerPoint- This PowerPoint is a fantastic way of getting your class talking! The slides ask children to think about questions such as 'What is your favourite thing to do?' and 'What languages do you use?'. This story explores how everyone in the neighborhood is a different shade of brown - from peanut butter to chocolate - and does a great job of subtly explaining that people are all different shades of the same color. Why Am I Different by Norma Simon We Are All Different: What Makes You Special? PowerPoint - As a follow-up session, you could encourage children to think about what makes them special with this PowerPoint. Follow one brave koala with two daddies as she sets out on a mission to make every family feel included in Part of the Party.There's a full range of additional resources available to support this story too. Just like the storybook, they've been written by teachers and designed to be used in the classroom. Take a look at these and see how you can use them in your teaching: Ask pupils to think about all the things that make them who they are: their looks, their strengths, their religion, their family and their culture. You might be similar to other people in our school community, or you might be very different, but we are all welcome and we are all part of a wonderful, diverse world. Begin by asking pupils what their favourite lesson in school is. Take a selection of answers and point out how different everyone’s favourite is. Now imagine that you only got to do maths, all day every day, and never got to have a go at doing something different. Would it get boring? Say that we have a 'diverse curriculum', which means learning about lots of different things and having a wide variety of activities. This makes school much more interesting. We also have diversity in the types of people there are in the world - different heights, different hair colour, different likes and dislikes - and that diversity of people and cultures makes life more interesting too. Tell everyone they'll now watch a short video about diversity.

This book outlines the variety of ways people can be different from each other including hair color, size, language, and family. It's OK to be Different by Todd Parr Throughout our lives, we'll meet a wide range of people who are all different. Introducing children to this concept when they're young, and showing them that differences are something to be celebrated rather than looked down upon, will help children to become kinder and more empathetic.If you enjoyed reading 'We Are All Different', we have lots Twinkl Originals stories to support EYFS children when learning about the world around them.
