Learning objective
- To begin to understand the physical and emotional boundaries in friendships
Statutory guidance
- That healthy friendships are positive and welcoming towards others, and do not make others feel lonely or excluded.
- The importance of permission-seeking and giving in relationships with friends, peers and adults.
- What sorts of boundaries are appropriate in friendships with peers and others (including in a digital context).
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could be grouped together for the activity, and have any available adults work with them. You may also want to provide them with the Activity: How do we expect our friends to behave? so they can sort the expectations and then add any extras that they can think of.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should be challenged to phrase all their expectations as positive statements.
