Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today, we are going to be looking at the lesson called Respecting Other People's Bodies.

This fits into the lesson unit, Power in Relationships: Should I Keep Secrets? Now, in this lesson, we are going to be learning about why it is so important to respect each other's bodies.

So let's get our eyes ready to look, our ears ready to listen, and our brain's ready to do some thinking.

Today's lesson outcome is I can explain why it is so important to respect other people's bodies.

Let's begin by taking a look at the ground rules together, and we have some friends here to help us.

Laura says we should listen to others.

And that means we are not going to talk or interrupt when somebody else is speaking.

Andeep says we should respect privacy.

And that means if somebody decides to share a story or talk about their own experiences, that we are not going to tell others about it outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, no judgement.

And that means if somebody does decide to share a story or talk about their own experiences, we are not going to judge them or make comments because of it.

And Izzy says, choose your level of participation.

And that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout.

All of these ground rules are here to keep everyone safe in the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

I will read them first to you and then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Permission.

Non-verbally.

Well done.

Permission means having approval to do something, and non-verbally means talking without using words, like waving hello or pointing at things and making faces.

Let's see if we can spot these key words throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lesson's outline.

And we are going to begin with why are bodies so special? Everyone's body is important and special.

Our bodies helps us to do amazing things.

What amazing things does your body do? Have a little think to yourself.

Our bodies help us to move, play, and have fun.

It might be at the park or at the swimming pool.

Our bodies help us to learn and remember new things like when we're at school or at a club.

Okay, time for a check for understanding.

Tell your partner two things that our bodies help us do.

Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, you might have said they help us move, play, and have fun, and they help us learn and remember new things.

Well done If your answer is similar to mine.

Our bodies let us feel and enjoy the world.

Our five senses help us to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell.

Okay, time for a check for understanding.

What can these two senses help us do? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, well done if you remembered these two senses, that's our taste and touch.

Our bodies protect us.

Our skin keeps the inside of our body safe.

And our immune system fights off germs. Andeep says, my body helps me to get better when I am sick.

Our bodies can change and grow.

We start as babies and we grow taller and stronger.

Everyone's body is unique, and this means that no two bodies are exactly the same, and that's what makes each of us special.

Time for a check for understanding.

Fill in the missing word in this sentence.

No two bodies are exactly the.

What could that missing word be? pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done if you said the word "same." No two bodies are exactly the same.

Okay, time for a task now.

First, I would like you to draw a picture of your body.

Then I would like you to label two to three things around your picture that makes your body special.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Okay, well done for having a go.

Your picture and labels could look like this.

My body helps me to move, play, and have fun.

My body helps me to learn and remember new things.

My body changes and grows.

My body protects me by fighting off germs. And my body helps me to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell.

Well done if your labels look similar to mine.

We are now going to move on to the second and the final part of our lesson.

How should we treat other people's bodies? We should respect other people's bodies.

One way we can do this is by using kind hands on other people.

We can use kind hands by: using our words to say how we feel instead of hitting or pushing, asking a friend for a hug or a high five if we're happy or excited, and by being gentle when playing with others.

Some people like their own space.

This means that we show respect by not getting too close to other people without asking first.

Laura says, this is my personal bubble.

I don't like it when people I don't know get inside my personal bubble.

Everybody's personal bubble is a different size.

Time for a check for understanding.

How can we use kind hands on other people? Is it A, by pushing or hitting others, B, by being gentle with others when playing, or C, by using our words to say how we feel.

Hmm.

How can we use kind hands on other people? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, well done if you said B and C.

We can use kind hands on other people by being gentle with others when playing and by using to say how we feel instead of pushing or hitting others.

We should always show respect by getting permission before touching someone's body.

When we have permission, it means that we're allowed to do something.

We can ask for permission to touch someone by saying, is it okay to give you a hug? Can I hold your hand? Can I give you a high five? When people touch our bodies without our permission, it can make us feel sad, worried, or angry.

Time for a check for understanding.

Who showed respect to their friend's body? Jayda says, would you like a hug? And Oscar says, I gave a new friend a hug without checking it was okay.

Hmm.

Who showed respect to their friend's body, Jayda or Oscar? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, well done if you said Jayda.

Now I want you to have a little think about how do you know that Jayda showed respect to their friend's body? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

I know that Jayda showed respect to their friend's body because she asked for permission before giving her friend a hug.

Anyone can decide whether they give permission to someone to touch their body or not.

If we give permission to someone to touch our bodies, we can say, yes, you can give me a hug, yes, I love high fives, sure, we can hold hands.

Permission can also be given non-verbally.

This means we use our bodies and our faces to show whether we give permission to someone.

Jacob says, I usually nod my head and smile when I give permission.

Izzy says, when someone asks for a hug, I open my arms to show that I'm giving permission.

And Laura says, if I play a game of tag, I give permission by joining in.

Okay, time for a check for understanding.

Which of the below are examples of someone giving permission non-verbally? Is it A, smiling and nodding their head, B, opening their arms ready for a hug, or C, saying, yes, that's fine with me.

Hmm.

Which of the below are examples of someone giving permission non-verbally? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, well done if you said A and B, smiling and nodding their heads and opening their arms ready for a hug are both examples of someone giving permission non-verbally.

Option C is an example of giving permission using words, says Izzy.

If we do not want to give permission to someone to touch our bodies.

We can say, no, thank you.

I don't like hugs.

I don't like high fives, sorry.

No, thanks.

I don't want to hold your hand.

If someone looks uncomfortable or stays quiet or moves away from us, it usually means that they don't give their permission, even if they didn't say it out loud.

Ms. Welsh says, sometimes it can be tricky to know whether someone has given permission non-verbally.

If you are unsure, it's important to always ask before you touch someone else.

Time for a check for understanding.

Lucas' friend has asked him if they can hold hands.

How could Lucas respond? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Okay, so Lucas could give permission by saying, yes, that's fine.

And Lucas could also give permission non-verbally by nodding his head and smiling.

On the other hand, Lucas might decide not to give permission.

He could say, no, thank you.

I don't want to hold hands, or he could move away.

Just show non-verbally that he doesn't want to hold hands.

Well done if your answer was similar to mine.

If someone does not give us permission to touch their bodies, we must listen to them and respect their choice.

Andeep says, can I give you a hug? And Jacob says, no, thanks.

I don't feel like a hug right now.

Andeep says, okay, no problem.

So Andeep is listening to Jacob and respecting his choice.

People can give or take away their permission at any time.

Sometimes, we might let someone hold our hand, but later decide we don't like it, and that's okay.

If someone tells us to stop touching them, we must stop immediately.

Okay, time for a check of understanding.

What should we do if someone tells us to stop touching them? Is it A, listen to them, B, ignore them, or C, stop touching them straight away.

Hmm.

What should we do if someone tells us to stop touching them? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done if you said A and C.

If someone tells us to stop touching them, we must listen to them and stop touching them straight away.

If someone has touched our bodies without our permission or doesn't listen to us when we say stop, we must tell a trusted adult straight away.

Our trusted adults include parents and carers at home and the teachers and school staff at school.

If an adult doesn't listen properly or help you, keep telling other adults until you are heard.

Ms. Walsh says, we can ask trusted adults at school if we cannot get the help we need at home.

We are here to help you and keep you safe.

Okay, time for a check for understanding.

What should we do if someone touches us with our permission? If it's A, tell our pets at home, B, tell a trusted adult, or C, keep telling adults until you are heard.

What should we do if someone touches us without our permission? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done if you said B and C.

If someone touches us without our permission, we must tell a trusted adult.

And if they don't listen or help us, we should keep telling adults until we are heard.

Time for a task now.

Create a poster to explain how we should respect other people's bodies.

Include words and pictures to show how we can use kind hands, Why it is important to ask permission before touching someone, and what we should do if someone asks us to stop touching them.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Okay, well done for having a go.

Your poster could look like this.

We can use kind hands by using our words to say how we feel instead of hitting or pushing, by being gentle when playing with others, we should always get permission before touching someone's body.

If we touch someone without their permission, it could make them feel sad, worried, or angry.

If someone tells us to stop touching them, we must stop immediately.

Well done If your poster looks similar to mine.
