PHSCE - Class 4
27 Jun 2024
Dear class 4 parents,
As part of the PHSCE curriculum, the children will be covering the 'Changing Me' topic and being taught about puberty and the changes to the body on Thursday 4th July. The boys and girls will be split for this, Miss Blake will lead the session for the girls, with Mr Breckon delivering the boys session.
As part of this the children will be covering these themes:
1. I am aware of my own self-image and how my body image fits into that
2. I can explain how a girl’s body changes during puberty and understand the importance
of looking after yourself physically and emotionally
3. I can describe how boys’ and girls’ bodies change during puberty
4. I understand that sexual intercourse can lead to conception and that is how babies
are usually made
5. I also understand that sometimes people need IVF to help them have a baby
6. I can describe how a baby develops from conception through the nine months of
pregnancy, and how it is born
7. I understand how being physically attracted to someone changes the nature of the
relationship and what that might mean about having a girlfriend/ boyfriend
8. I am aware of the importance of a positive self-esteem and what I can do to develop it
If you would like any further information or would like to see the resources which will be shown to
your child please let us know before the session and those can be made available to you.
Many thanks
Mr Breckon
