Unit overview: How do we know that new babies are special?
This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers in delivering a unit that explores the big questions: How and why are we here? and How can worldviews be expressed? Children investigate beliefs and traditions related to baby welcoming ceremonies across Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Humanist worldviews. They explore the symbolism and values behind practices such as Adhan and Aqiqah, Jatakarma, Namakarana, baptism, and Humanist naming ceremonies.
