In our living and learning session this week, we discussed what influence means and what we think influences us.
The children came up with lots of ideas of what can be an influence on their lives and choices – both positive and negative: parents, friends, teachers, social media, adverts, games, famous people…

They worked as a group to create a diamond nine to represent which of these they felt influenced them most and which influenced them least which led to lots of interesting discussions.

At home, discuss this together, thinking about how friends, for example, can influence us positively and how they can influence us negatively.
