RSHP Week Commencing 17th May- My Body is Changing

rmpstaff

This week we will have two sessions on RSHP on Tuesday. The first session we will continue to look at Friends and Friendship (full details of what is covered can be found on a previous blog post) and in the second section we will look at ‘My Body is Changing’.

The children are working on the topic of my body. They are learning about how their body changes with puberty. To help the children understand puberty’s main changes, they have been learning about menstruation (a girl having their period) and about erections/wet dreams. We learn about these things now so that children understand that they do not need to worry about the changes that will happen. The children are being encouraged to speak to a trusted adult if they have any questions or worries. If you would like to help your child continue their learning at home, you may find the following books and websites useful.
This is a good article to read yourself or with your child: http://kidshealth.org/en/kids/puberty.html

The local library should be able to get these books for you:

Assembly 13th May 2021

Royal Mile Primary School

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme is Nature.

You may have noticed that our Parent Council have been busy weeding and tidying our planters at the back of the school. Mr Jessop and Mr Mouat, the Janitor, have also started work on our new planters ready for every class to plant out seeds for next session. In addition Mrs Dimeck has been doing outdoor learning with classes across the school, classes have been outside for PE and fitness, bikeability and fun! Last week Primary 2 were the proud winners of a play session with our new blocks – who will it be this week?

Our Equalities Group are challenging each class to design and build their own Worry Monster. There are lots of boxes and cardboard outside my office for this purpose. I am looking forward to seeing the results. These will be checked regularly and we will offer every support we can.

I hope you enjoy this week’s assembly https://youtu.be/4Nr4mxcV_yo

I’d also like to wish Eid Mubarak to all our families celebrating this week. Take care!

RSHP Week Commencing 10th May- What is a friend?

rmpstaff

In this block of activities, children will explore friendship and will be encouraged to think about what they would want from a friend and what kind of friend they can be. The children will explore the positive impact of friendship, as well as some of the challenges that come up in managing relationships. Children can worry about friendships, and there can be fall-outs and arguments between the children. We want to create a class where there is a positive atmosphere and where children get on. We want children to be able to manage the ups and downs of friendships. We will be helping children understand that they do not need to be best friends with everyone, but they can be friendly and kind. As many of the children will be online and may be interacting with people online we will also look at why and how an online friendship may be different from a friend you know and meet at school or out playing. If you have any concerns about your child’s relationships and friendships, please do talk with us at school.
