I decided to create my own resource using characters that reflected the ethnicity and religions of the students in my class. I wanted students to be able to relate to the characters, especially when speaking about their families.]]> 2020-11-25 15:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pgcestmarysmfl/89y7d8wdz64n/wish/960214567 https://padlet.com/pgcestmarysmfl/89y7d8wdz64n/wish/960225206 Year 8 students learnt how All Saints' Day is celebrated in the French Antilles in a cultural lesson.
