• how the media, including online experiences, can affect people’s wellbeing – their thoughts, feelings and actions
•  that not everything should be shared online or social media and that there are rules about this, including the distribution of images • that mixed messages in the media exist (including about health, the news and different groups of people) and that these can influence opinions and decisions
• how text and images can be manipulated or invented; strategies to recognise this 
• to evaluate how reliable different types of online content and media are, e.g. videos, blogs, news, reviews, adverts
•  to recognise unsafe or suspicious content online and what to do about it
• how information is ranked, selected, targeted to meet the interests of individuals and groups, and can be used to influence them 
• how to make decisions about the content they view online or in the media and know if it is appropriate for their age range

Autumn Term

In PSHE this term, we will be learning about Physical and Mental Wellbeing. We will be exploring:

• how mental and physical health are linked
•  how positive friendships and being involved in activities such as clubs and community groups support wellbeing
•  how to make choices that support a healthy, balanced lifestyle

•  that habits can be healthy or unhealthy; strategies to help change or break an unhealthy habit or take up a new healthy one
•  how to recognise early signs of physical or mental ill-health and what to do about this, including whom to speak to in and outside school
•  that health problems, including mental health problems, can build up if they are not recognised, managed, or if help is not sought early on
•  that anyone can experience mental ill-health and to discuss concerns with a trusted adult
