Lesson 1: Recognising me

We explored what we think of ourselves and what are talents are. We then found out if our peers thought we had the same qualities.

Lesson 2: Getting on and falling out

We explored scenarios where people had fallen out and looked to see if we thought that these friendships should be rekindled or if it would be better to end the friendship. We discussed the importance of not continuing a friendship that was not reciprocal but we should always be kind and polite to people we may no longer be friends with.

Lesson 3: Boyfriends and girlfriends

In this lesson, we explored the different relationships people can have and how they are different. We talked about attraction and when relationships are more than friendships. We went to the hall and placed ourselves on a continuum to indicate how much we agreed or disagreed with a statement. Examples of statements:

Age 10 is too young to have a boyfriend or girlfriend

• Having a boyfriend or girlfriend is just like any other friendship

The idea of kissing a boy or girl is pretty disgusting

• A boyfriend or girlfriend has to be a member of the opposite sex

• A boyfriend or girlfriend has to be someone of your own age

Lesson 4: Understanding feelings

During this lesson we explored different feelings that may be felt when in a relationship with another persn. We sorted the feelings into positive and negative emotions to feel in a relationship. We noted that all of these emotions are normal and healthy to experience in small amounts.

We focussed on the feeling of jealousy and how this can have a really negative impact on our relationships.

Lesson 5: Relationships and technology

In this lesson we spoke to two different people online and found out about them; however, we discovered they were not who they said they were and were in fact Mr Bullock and a year 6 pupil pretending to be a boy and girl in a year 5 class. We watched a video about how information we post online can make us vulnerable and we must be very careful. We created posters to promote how to be safe online and how to have healthy relationships when engaging with technology.

We also learnt to understand how an individual’s behaviour can impact on a group and that we can contribute to the group to understand how we can function best as a whole.
