In our L&L sessions in Year 4, we’ve been looking at and discussing body image.
We began by thinking about the word ‘beauty’ and what it can mean. It’s important to realise that…
Everyone’s idea of beauty is different.
We talked about how media and advertising can make us think that beauty is to look one way or another.
However, some of these images may have been edited or changed to look a certain way. So, it is important that we do not compare ourselves to the images that we see online. Not everything we see online is real! We looked at two images and identified the edits that had been made between them.
We then thought about ourselves and how we are all beautiful in our own ways.
Help at home: watch this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpM499XhMJQ ) and have a discussion about it. Reinforce the idea that not everything we see online is real.
