This RSE & PSHE video helps the children explore what identity means and what shapes who they are. Through personal examples, the children learn that their identities can be influenced by the people they meet, the places they go and the experiences they have.

The video helps the children understand that identity can include aspects such as faith, culture, family and disability. Through a range of examples, the children see that everyone’s identity is unique and that differences should be respected and included. The children are encouraged to reflect on what shapes their own identity and to recognise that families and backgrounds can look different and are all special. This supports the children in developing respect, inclusion and a sense of belonging.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s RSE & PSHE UKS2 videos, which enable teachers and pupils to explore growth and change and help develop personal, social and emotional skills, as well as an understanding of relationships and health education.
