Learning Focus: Appreciating diversity

Think about

How would you feel if someone found out your big secret?

Do you think it’s possible that everyone has something they don’t want others to find out about? 

What would happen if everyone just shared their important things (and ideas) with each other?

My Thought Coaches 

Here’s a couple of ‘thought coaches’about believing in yourself and accepting the things that are different about others. Read them through and talk to Mum and Dad(or another adult) about which ones work best for you.. 

"It’s okay to be different from other people." 

"I can accept other people’s differences." 

"Our differences can make life lots of fun."
