Our plan for RSE for Year 5 At the start of the session Ms O’Carroll and Mr Warren will talk through Ground Rules for RSE. Ms O’Carroll will send out the plan for the sessions so you can see what is being taught and when. There will be 3-4 sessions for RSE taught with both Ms O’Carroll and Mr Warren. If pupils ask questions which require a more advanced answer than what we had planned then we tell them that ‘you will learn about that in Year …’ If you aren’t sure how to answer something always come and ask us ~ don’t be embarrassed! Remember every family is different and it is important that family share what they feel comfortable doing but that will also help the child understand how they are changing and be informed to make decisions.
