Friendships: Online/Offline
Friendships: Online/Offline
In this lesson, the children will learn about how an online friendship may be different from a friend they know and meet at school or out playing. It is likely that many of the children in the class will be connecting with others online who might be friends they know from school, their neighbourhoods or family – and they may also be engaging with people who they only know online. Children may well conceptualise these online engagements as friendships. This lesson explores how to keep these relationships safe.
We will use the following website to explore a range of online issues and engagement with others while online.

Gender: Stereotypes and Equality
The children will learn that they can be whatever kind of girl or boy they want to be – with interests and ambitions that show them to be unique individuals.

Gender: Being Fair
Similarity, Diversity and Respect: Heterosexual/ Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual?
Similarity, Diversity and Respect: Heterosexual/ Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual?
Children are often curious about what gay, lesbian or bisexual means. Of course, some of our children know what these words mean, or they may be part of a family with gay, lesbian or bisexual parents, carers or family members. We are learning about being gay, lesbian or bisexual and we have also introduced the word ‘heterosexual’.
When talking about this in class, our focus is on love and relationships. This lesson is part of our learning to respect each other and be kind to all. If you like to read with your child, The Great Big Book of Families by Mary Hoffman, is a lovely book that describes all different kinds of families. We also watched a couple of short films that you might want to watch too.
In a Heartbeat is an award winning animation.
Kids of Gay Parents Speak Out is a series of short interviews with kids who speak about their diverse families.
