Topic: Positive 'Change'

This week we begun teaching our new topic for the term 'Positive Change'. This week an area that we begun to look at is Self-Worth. As a class we talked about what we learn from magazines and television. In the children's topic book they wrote their stengths and what makes them unique. Understanding our strengths and being able to acknowledge these can shape who we are and how we interact with one another.
The following commercial got the children asking questions about why do people change what they look like. I talked to the children about that even boys feel uncomfortable about taking their shirts of for kapa haka.

The following video shows why people can become uncomfortable with who they are and how media influences this.
