Over the last few weeks, Year 5 and 6 have been learning about RSE. It’s important to understand changes you might go through, both physically and emotionally.
Relationships
“There are lots of different types of relationships like families, friends and online,” said Willow. “If something is negative in a relationship you have, take some time away and tell a trusted adult.”
We’ve learnt about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like and talked about how to build each other up, avoid peer pressure and improve the connections we have in our lives.
Puberty
Brooklyn explained, “You might get taller, hair grows more and you will sweat more!”
“Your hair also gets greasier, too,” added Ellie.
We’ve learnt about the different changes we might go through and how to take care of our bodies as we get older. We discussed how every adult has already gone through it and most of the changes are actually shared by most people.
“Bath every day!” said Jewel.
“Use deoderant!” insisted Olivia.
“Wash your face every night and/or morning,” advised Siana.
However you’re feeling, it’s important to talk to a trusted adult if you’re unsure, especially if you’re feeling like your emotions are hard to manage.
