This week, our homework is Talk Time: What is beauty?
Children should discuss this question with someone at home.
In class this week, we’ve had a lesson about body image. We discussed that:
- beauty has different meanings
- there are different ways the media changes beauty
Talk about how beauty is in the ‘eye of the beholder’ and that what is beautiful to one person may be very different for another. Can your child explain what ‘media’ is and why physical appearance is altered for advertising purposes? Are children aware of the negative consequences that photo shopping or air brushing may have on young people?
We’ll discuss this as a class as part of our homework review.
