In this unit, children discuss their likes and dislikes and the difference between right and wrong. They develop decision-making skills, explore the influences on the choices they make, and practise resisting peer influence. They consider rights and responsibilities when making decisions. The unit highlights the use of knowledge and skills to make informed and responsible personal choices and to consider the effect of those choices on other people and the environment. Children apply what they have learnt in a variety of contexts. The activities in this unit can be adapted for use at either key stage 1 or key stage 2.
There are opportunities to link with work in English and geography. Some links are indicated in the 'Points to note' section. The unit also links with unit 1 'Taking part - developing skills of communication and participation', unit 6 'Developing our school grounds' and unit 10 'Local democracy for young citizens'.
