Our Big Question:
If I moved from Wales, would my culture change?
This term, our big question will have an Expressive Arts focus. The learners will be exploring different elements and aspects of culture, as well as developing an understanding of the concept of ‘Belonging’. The learners will explore what it means to celebrate different cultures from different parts of the world and whether being in one place defines a culture. The learners have chosen to explore French, Brazilian and Japanese culture to support their development, understanding and awareness of culture and belonging.
Our Well-Being day will take place on a Wednesday.
