P.S.H.E

Today we are going to be thinking about the things that influence the way we behave or live our life. 

- What do I mean when I say an influence?

- What other words do we know that are similar?

You might have heard of influencers on the tv or social media. They are someone who wants to encourage you to do something or buy something. An influencer tries to be a positive role model especially if they are aiming towards children or young adults. 

Sometimes we may be influenced in a negative way.

- What might that be?

- Can you think of anything that might be a bad influence? 

Activity: Write about the positive things that you do that make you a good influence to other people e.g. being kind.
