SRE Curriculum
This year we will continue to teach the children using materials from our new Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) scheme. This new edition of ‘Teaching SRE with Confidence in Primary Schools’ reflects the recent developments in SRE and the Science National Curriculum. This resource encourages children to develop the skills of listening, empathy, talking about feelings and relationships with families and friends.
All the lessons have a clear structure and are age appropriate. The lesson plans have clear aims and learning outcomes with suggested additional activities and accompanying resources:

What have we been up to recently?
We finished off the Autumn term with our Animal WOW Day! The children dressed up as their favourite animals and visited Antarctica and Africa! We started by reading Blown Away by Rob Biddulph and learning about the animals of Antarctica and then we followed Penguin Blue into the hot, sweltering African jungle where we learned about African animals. We made penguins, igloos out of sugar cubes, rescued animals frozen in ice and shaving foam, made animal footprints in the sand, created our own binoculars and did some African gumboot dancing! It was an amazing day and I hope that the children had a fantastic time!
