Living and Learning: Body Image

Thursday 26 May 2022

This week in Living and Learning we talked about giving and receiving compliments to others as well as ourselves. We talked about what a compliment is and thought about a compliment we could give our partner. Here are just some of the children’s ideas.

‘The person sitting next to me is special because she is always kind and always helps me.’

‘The person sitting next to me is special because she always makes good choices’

‘The person sitting next to me is special because he works really hard.’

We then practised giving and receiving compliments, making sure we said thank you.

Then, we discussed our own bodies and how amazing they are! Finally, we thought of something incredible about our own body.

My body is amazing because it can do anything!

My body is amazing because it heals infection.

My body is amazing because it can make lots of friends.

My body is amazing because my fingers make wonderful drawings!

I think we all agreed how brilliant all our bodies are!
