Celebrations we share means describing how your family marks a celebration or remembrance day, and noticing sameness and difference with others. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.
Materials: A photo or object from a family celebration; Paper to note same/different celebration details. 1. Show a photo/object. Child names the celebration and how it is marked. 2. Say one thing that might be the same for another family and one that might differ. 3. Name a commemoration day (e.g. Anzac Day) and how people mark it. 4. Fresh check: child retells how their celebration is marked. Record and stop. Done: celebration named with one clear marking detail, plus one same and one different note. Proof: parent note of celebration, marking detail, and same/different. Stop: End after the fresh retell; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Describe how their family celebrates a special event (e.g. a birthday, Christmas, Diwali, Eid or Lunar New Year) using a photo or object from home
- Compare one way their celebration is the same as a classmate's and one way it is different
- Recognise that some days are commemorations when people remember something important (e.g. Anzac Day) and say how people mark them
“Can your child tell a classmate how your family celebrates a special day — and understand that some days, like Anzac Day, are for remembering?”
