Learning objective
- To understand the menstrual cycle.
Statutory guidance
Changing adolescent body:
- Pupils should know key facts about puberty and the changing adolescent body, particularly from age 9 through to age 11, including physical and emotional changes.
- Pupils should know about menstrual wellbeing including the key facts about the menstrual cycle.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May benefit from diagrams as these concepts can be confusing.
Pupils working at greater depth: If working in single-sex groups, use some of the true or false quiz questions for the opposite gender to check understanding of changes they go through. This can be done with all children but focus on those with a better understanding so they can learn more about the opposite gender as well as their own.
