Cultural and Traditional Beliefs

Folktales from around the world

Cultural and traditional beliefs are important in people's everyday lives. Included in these is religion. At our school we have students from all over the world and from four of the world's major religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. We asked our parents and used our memories to write about the traditions and beliefs that are important to us. We also added our own artwork to help illustrate our writings.

"If we learn about beliefs and customs and if we understand about them then we won't make fun of them or fight with them. So then you could help others understand so they wouldn't make fun. It is interesting to see people in different costumes from different countries like when we sang at the multicultural fair." (Grade 4 Student)
