Different Lives and Experiences
Personal & Social Development · Empathy & Social Awareness · conceptual
Understand that people's lives and experiences can be very different from their own — that some children face challenges like disability, poverty, family difficulties, or being new to a country — and develop compassion rather than judgement
What mastery looks like
- Describe at least two ways another child's life experience might differ significantly from their own
- Explain why it's important not to judge someone based on their circumstances
- Suggest a kind action they could take to help someone facing a difficult situation
Check your understanding
If a new child joins Different Lives and Experiences's class who doesn't speak much English or whose family situation is very different, does Different Lives and Experiences show understanding and try to include them rather than avoiding them?
