FOCUS OF THE WEEK

This week we have been thinking about how we are all special people. We have learned that we should feel proud to be such interesting people and as such be treated with respect and thoughtfulness. We must remember to be kind and considerate to one another.

KEY STAGE 2 SEX & RELATIONSHIP EDUCATIONAL EVENING

This week we all enjoyed the presentation given by Vanessa Ataçocuğu SRE Co-ordinator and KS2 Teachers. Information was given to parents concerning the SRE Curriculum and scheme of work which is followed in our school. Parents also had the opportunity to look at key resources and watch the videos which are shown to the children. I would like to thank all the staff and parents who came along to this evening. Here is a list of resources you may find useful:

Bayley, R Sensitive issues
Broere, R Grandad I’ll always remember you
Cadier, F My parents are getting Divorced
Gravelle, K The Period Book
Gee, R Babies
Harris, R Let’s Talk about Sex
Meredith, S Understanding the facts of life
