Ups and downs
These classroom activities & lesson plans, which directly link to the PD&MU curriculum, teach Year 5 children about building relationships and managing conflicts.
As you work through this resource in the classroom, children will:
- understand how to initiate, develop and sustain mutually satisfying relationships
- recognise the benefits of friends and families
- find out about sources of help and support for individuals, families and groups
- consider the challenges and issues that can arise at home, at school between friends, and how they can be avoided, lessened, or resolved
The resource is made up of six different classroom activities, with accompanying notes to help teachers deliver the activities in the classroom.
This resource forms part of a wider unit of work around PD&MU. You can find additional resources for Year 5 here.
