Exploring Why and Exploring our world are two series that each contain several sets of resources developed for Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. Both series are designed so that the the learner can discover the meanings, rituals and history of varying symbols and practices associated with different faiths and relate them to what they observe in everyday life.
