Last week, our homework was a Talk Time: What is beauty?
Yesterday, we spent some time discussing this as a class. To start with, the children established that there is no right or wrong answer. We agreed that we would listen to and respect each other’s opinions, even if we disagreed.
The children passed a beanbag to each other and, on receiving it, they then stated what they thought about beauty.
I was so impressed how mature all the class were during our review. Lots of children had spoken to someone at home in great detail. Below are some of the responses:
- Zidaan – “Beauty is what is on the inside.”
- Alexander – “A painting can be seen to be beautiful by some people but not to others.”
- Eliza – “Beauty is an opinion.”
- Poppy – “Everyone is unique. You don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.
- Maggie – “There are different types of beauty. Some can be good and some can make people sad.”
- Eve – “Trying to be beautiful, could be dangerous.”
- Daniel – “Beauty is internal.”
- William – “Beauty is skindeep.”
- Gurnoor – “Beauty is fashion.“
- Milo – “Beauty is something that attracts others.”
- Eleni – “Beauty goes beyond the eyes.”
- Finlay – “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
- Henry – “Not everyone sees beauty in the same way.”
