PSHE

LO: To identify the feelings I have about my friends and my different friendship groups

Lesson 1 of our ‘Healthy Me’ PSHE topic.

Look at the PowerPoint presentation about friendship and think about all the people you are friends with.

Must: Record your friends in your Friendship Chart as follows:

• In the centre are the friends/family that are closest to you; your best friends, and closest family members
• In the second circle your good friends, next closest family, (but who you regard as not the closest)
• In the third circle friends who you know less well (perhaps people at groups or societies, relatives you see occasionally etc.)
• In the fourth circle, acquaintances (for example, neighbours, friends of friends etc.)

Should:

Briefly explain why you have put the different people in different places on the chart.

Think about how we sometimes act differently with friends from different friendship group. Remember that friendships can change over time and people can move from to and from different friendship groups. This is a normal part of life.
 

Could:

Identify the qualities of a good friend and draw what a good friend does for you. (See resource bank)
