We don’t have to be the same Children will learn: - Similarities and differences between people arise as they grow and make choices, and that by living and working together (‘teamwork’) we create community
| Respecting our bodies Children will learn: - About the need to respect and look after their bodies as a gift from God through what they wear, what they eat and what they physically do
| What am I feeling? Children will learn: - That emotions change as they grow up (including hormonal effects)
- To deepen their understanding of the range and intensity of their
feelings; that ‘feelings’ are not good guides for action - What emotional well-being means
- That positive actions help emotional well-being (beauty, art, etc. lift the spirit)
- That talking to trusted people helps emotional well- being (e.g. parents/carer/teacher/parish priest etc.)
| What am I looking at? Children will learn: - To recognise that images in the media do not always reflect reality and can affect how people feel about themselves.
| I am thankful Children will learn: - Some behaviour is wrong, unacceptable, unhealthy and risky
- Thankfulness builds resilience against feelings of envy, inadequacy and insecurity, and against pressure from peers and the media
