Celebrating Our Unique Differences

Read the story, then complete the activities. People can be different in many ways, and everyone deserves kindness and respect. You do not need to share anything private about yourself or another person.

The new garden team

Bodhi’s community group is planning a small garden. At the first meeting, the children share ideas. Jai knows lots about growing herbs. Harper enjoys drawing signs. Sienna likes building things with recycled materials. Noor speaks Arabic with her family and is learning Auslan. The group has different favourite foods, hobbies and ways of communicating. They listen to one another and choose jobs that let everyone contribute.

1.From the story, name two ways the children are different from one another.

2.Which choice best shows that the group values each person’s strengths?

Give every child the same job, whether they enjoy it or not.
Let children choose jobs that use their interests and skills.
Ask only the child who knows the most about gardening to do all the work.
Leave out ideas that are different from the first suggestion.

3.People must like the same things to be good friends or work well together.
