Learning objective
- To understand how to form and maintain positive relationships
National curriculum
All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.
The PSHE Association Programme of Study recommends pupils are taught:
- R11. what constitutes a positive healthy friendship (e.g. mutual respect, trust, truthfulness, loyalty, kindness, generosity, sharing interests and experiences, support with problems and difficulties); that the same principles apply to online friendships as to face-to-face relationships
- R17. that friendships have ups and downs; strategies to resolve disputes and reconcile differences positively and safely
- R30. that personal behaviour can affect other people; to recognise and model respectful behaviour online
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need to use the Activity: How to build a friend worksheet as a scaffold.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should complete the extension activity mentioned in the main event.
