Next steps
Next time a grown-up takes your photo, ask them where it might be shared.
Age, Stage and Prior Learning: P1-P3 (ages 4 to 7), Foundation level. Fully unplugged, no devices or actual photography needed.
Before You Start: No specific materials needed beyond paper and drawing materials for Step 5.
How to Open This: "Today we're Photo Detectives! Taking a photo is easy, but sharing one has a real rule. Let's find out what it is."
Scheduling: Roughly 30 minutes total, works well as a standalone session.
If a Pupil Gets Stuck: If a child struggles with 'sharing,' use a concrete example: showing a drawing to the whole school versus just to one friend.
For Fast Finishers: Ask fast finishers to think of one reason a person might not want their photo shared, even a nice photo.
Marking Guidance: Look for whether the child can explain the safe photo rule (always ask a trusted grown-up before a photo is shared), not just repeat it.
