Christmas around the World
Community Relations, Equality and Diversity in Education (CRED) is part of the Northern Ireland Curriculum. It aims to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence of pupils in understanding their own identity and to respect and understand the identity of others. It provides opportunities for learning about different backgrounds and traditions. At Victoria Park Primary School we wish to promote a culture of respect for difference in whatever form it may manifest.
Following on from that we will be having our Christmas Around the World Day today. Each class will spend the day learning about a different country and its unique Christmas traditions.
