These are the objectives that will be covered in KS2 for Self-Image and Identity. Lots of these objectives will be covered more than once over the year. Each year group will build on the knowledge gained in the previous year group.

Year 4
- I can explain how my online identity can be different to my offline identity.
- I can describe positive ways for someone to interact with others online and understand how this will positively impact on how others perceive them.
