Students explore their identities, families, languages, interests, strengths, and relationships. They investigate the groups and communities to which they belong, including family, classroom, school, cultural, faith, recreational, and neighbourhood communities. Through stories, photographs, self-portraits, classroom discussions, and identity webs, students learn that individuals are unique while also sharing common experiences with others. Students practise listening respectfully, using inclusive language, recognizing similarities and differences, and describing how belonging to groups contributes to their well-being and sense of identity. The topic concludes with a personal and classroom belonging project.
