Year 5 Unit 6 - Growing and Changing

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in this Year 5 unit, Growing and Changing. This unit will deepen students’ understanding of how to express and manage emotions, including the concept of mixed emotions. Students will explore topics such as self-esteem, body image, and the physical and emotional changes boys and girls experience during puberty. They will also learn how these changes affect their feelings and relationships, providing them with tools to navigate this important stage of growth. 

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
