Hello, my name is Miss Willow, and I'm going to be your teacher for today's lesson.

Today's lesson is called Healthy Families and it fits into the unit Power in Relationships.

What does a healthy relationship feel like? During this lesson, we're going to be talking a little bit about some sensitive content and peer pressure, so we recommend that for this lesson you have an adult with you.

If at any point you do feel worried or uncomfortable, it's really important that you close the screen and that you go and speak to a trusted adult.

Okay, let's make a start on today's lesson.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to describe what a healthy family should feel like.

Before we get started with today's lesson, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

Laura says that we need to listen to others.

This means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.

Andeep says, "We need to respect each other's privacy." This means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions, as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

Jacob says, "No judgement ." This means that if someone chooses to share a story, experience, or feeling, we're not going to judge them for it.

And finally, Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

This means that it's up to us how much we want to join in.

We are now going to go through the keywords for today's learning.

These are gonna pop up quite a few times in today's lesson, so it's really important that we have a good understanding of what each of these words mean.

First of all, we have the word "family." This can be the people that we live with and may be related to.

Next, we have the word "struggle," when someone is finding it hard to overcome a challenge.

Next, we have "rules." These are expectations to follow that can keep us safe.

And, finally, "secret." This is something that's kept hidden.

Today's lesson is split into two learning cycles.

Our first learning cycle is called Are Families Ever Perfect? And our second learning cycle is called What Do Families Need to Be Healthy? Let's make a start on our first learning cycle, Are families ever perfect? All families are different and special.

Our family is made up of people who love and care for us.

Families can make us feel really happy.

We can make happy memories, share our feelings with family, do things that we enjoy together, and we can feel looked after.

We can also learn from our family and the experiences that we have with them.

It's important to remember that families are never perfect.

It's typical for families to disagree sometimes and to find things challenging.

Aisha says, "Sometimes I argue with my mum, because I don't always want to do my homework, but I know it's because she cares about my learning, and we make up quickly after." This is a really good example of a typical disagreement that might happen in a family.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing so far.

Can you decide which sentences are true? A, some families are perfect; B, all families are different; C, no family is perfect; or D, all families are the same.

Which of these sentences are true? Pause the video.

Talk to the people around you or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that B and C are correct.

All families are different and no family is perfect.

Well done if you said the same thing.

Many families do struggle.

Families can struggle for lots of different reasons.

Ms. Walsh tells us that: "It can be really hard to see our family struggle.

Lots of families work very hard to look after us, but there can be challenges too.

Parents and carers often do their best for us, but there are some things that they can find tricky too." Not having enough money is a struggle for many different families.

Jake wants to share his story.

Jake says, "My family choose to do lots of free activities instead! We go to the park, visit museums, and go to the library too.

And these are often free activities.

We also bring our own picnics on our outings, and this means that we can still do lots of fun things and they don't cost us lots of money." Sometimes we might want to spend more time with our parents and carers than they're able to give.

Lisa shares her story.

My parents both work full-time and when they get home in the evening, they're both really tired.

We get to do things together at the weekends, but I wish we could spend more time together during the week, like going to the cinema or eating out on a weeknight, but I know they're working so hard to take care of me and my brother.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing.

Can you remember what did Jake's family struggle with? Pause the video.

Talk to the people around you or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you remembered that Jake's family struggle with not having enough money, but they still do lots of fun, free activities together, like going to the library or to different museums. Well done if you said the same thing.

In a healthy family, we should have our basic needs being met, like having enough to eat every day and having clean clothes to wear.

We should also feel loved and cared for even if our parents and carers can't spend as much time with us as we would like.

Ms. Walsh says that: "It's important to tell another trusted adult, like a teacher, if our family is struggling, and our basic needs aren't always being met." There's lots of support available for families who are struggling.

Families can have access to food, clothes, hygiene products, and other types of resources to feel more comfortable again.

Hygiene products are products that we can use to keep ourselves clean, like a toothbrush, toothpaste, or shower gel.

Ms. Walsh says that: "Asking for help can be hard, but no one deserves to struggle alone, including families.

It takes a lot of bravery to ask for help to make sure that everyone in the family feels safe and has what they need to be healthy and thrive." Let's do a check for understanding to see how you are doing.

I'd like you to fill in the blanks and you can use this word bank to help you.

Families can blank for lots of different reasons.

Parents and carers do not always have as much blank and blank for us as we would like.

It's important to tell a trusted adult if we're not having our basic blank met.

Here are the words in our word bank: needs, struggle, time, money, help, and care.

Can you decide which words should fit in the blanks? Pause the video.

Talk to the people around you or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that the missing words should go in this order: struggle, time, money, and needs.

Our completed sentences should now say: "Families can struggle for lots of different reasons.

Parents and carers do not always have as much time and money for us as we would like.

It's important to tell a trusted adult if we're not having our basic needs met.

Well done if you put these words in the right place.

We're now going to put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

Can you rewrite each sentence so that it is correct? Here's our first incorrect statement: Every family is exactly the same and some are special.

Our next incorrect statement is some families are perfect and never have disagreements.

Our third incorrect statement: Families never struggle because they don't have enough money to do all the things that they'd like to do.

And finally, our last incorrect statement is every family has plenty of time together.

Can you rewrite each of these sentences so that they're correct? Pause the video and we'll go through what you might have said in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

Sentence one might now say something like: Every family is different and all are special.

Sentence number two might now say: No family is perfect and most have disagreements sometimes.

For our third sentence, you might have something like: Families can struggle because they don't have enough money to do all the things that they'd like to do.

And finally, you might have said: Some families struggle to have plenty of time together.

Well done if your sentences looked a bit like this.

It's now time to move on to our second learning cycle, and you've done a brilliant job so far.

Well done.

Our next learning cycle is called What Do families Need to Be Healthy? Every family is different, but every family should be healthy so that everyone feels safe.

In a healthy family, everyone's basic needs are met, like having enough to eat, drink, and having clean clothes.

Everyone feels safe, loved and cared for, and children trust their adults to keep them safe and looked after.

Families need rules and routines to keep things fair and safe.

Families can often have different rules.

For example, showing respect to each other; ask before you borrow something from someone else; knock before entering someone else's room; clean up after yourself; no phones at the table; finish your homework before screen time.

And everyone comes up with the rules and follows them.

Maybe your family has similar rules or maybe you have something different.

Every family might have slightly different rules and routines, as every family is different.

Rules help everyone to know what is expected of them.

Sam says, "In my home, everyone is expected to be polite and to treat each other with kindness.

This helps me to make choices that I'm proud of, and it means that when someone isn't kind to me, I know that I should tell a trusted adult." Routines are also an important part of healthy families.

Sam says, "In our house, we have a routine of putting all of our dirty washing in a basket each evening, so that it's easier for my dad to do the washing each week.

This way, we all share the responsibility!" Well done, Sam.

When we keep to our family's routine, we can help each other to stay healthy and safe.

We may not always agree with our family rules or routines, and this can be a challenge.

Jun says, "Sometimes, I've disagreed with my family's rules and routines.

When this has happened, I have talked calmly to my parents and they have explained why the rule or routine is important.

They treat me with respect and I treat them with respect too." Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle so far.

Why do many families have rules and routines? Can you remember? Pause the video, talk to the people around you, or have a think to yourself.

You might have said that many families have rules and routines because this helps to keep everyone safe, to make sure that things are fair, and so that everyone knows what's expected of them.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

Lots of families have rules about surprises and secrets.

Surprises are something that's hidden for a short amount of time to make it more fun, like a present or a party.

Jacob says, "Last year, we threw a surprise party for my dad's birthday.

I couldn't tell him about it, but that was okay because it was a surprise and I could talk to my mom about it instead." But secrets are different to surprises.

Secrets could be hidden for a long time or never shared, and they could make us feel worried or uncomfortable.

Here, someone says that: "My friend told me that she was going to hurt someone at school the next day, but that it was a secret, so I couldn't tell anyone.

This secret made me feel worried, so I knew I needed to tell a trusted adult." This is a really good example of a secret that we need to share with a trusted adult.

This person felt worried and this indicated that they should talk to a trusted adult about what they've been told.

It would not be safe to not tell anyone that their friend is going to hurt someone, because someone could end up getting hurt.

Adults should never ask children to keep secrets from their trusted adults like their parents, carers, and teachers.

Ms. Walsh says that: "If anyone tells us a secret or does something and tells us not to tell our trusted adults about what's happened, we should tell a trusted adult straight away.

By doing this, we're keeping ourselves safe and we're helping our trusted adults to look after us too." Let's do another check for understanding.

What should Laura do next in this scenario? Laura says, "Someone has done something that's made me feel uncomfortable, but they've told me it's a secret, so I can't tell my parents." What should Laura do next to keep herself safe? Pause the video, talk to the people around you, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Laura should tell a trusted adult about what's happened straight away.

Someone has told Laura a secret, and this secret has made them feel uncomfortable.

This means that it's important that Laura tells a trusted adult about what's happened so that she can keep herself safe.

Well done if you said the same thing.

Sometimes children think that they're responsible for how their family is or whether their family is healthy or not, but this isn't true.

Children are a really important part of the family, but they're not responsible for how the family is or whether they're healthy.

Although we can help our parents and carers in many different ways, it's never a child's responsibility to ensure the wellbeing or health of the whole family.

Even if a child makes mistakes or has additional needs, that means that they need extra help, the health of the family is always the responsibility of the adults.

Ms. Walsh says that: "We can help our families by doing our best, following the rules that keep us safe and healthy, and asking for help if we're struggling.

If we do feel responsible for our family in some way, it's important to let another trusted adult know so that they can support us and our family." Any problems in our family, whether that's due to time, money, or something else, are never our fault.

We should seek support from a trusted adult if we don't feel safe or if we're worried about our family.

Let's do another check for understanding.

This time, I'd like you to decide if this statement is true or false.

Children are responsible for how their family is.

What do you think? Is this true or false? Pause the video, talk to the people around you, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false, but why? You might have said that: Although there are lots of things that we can do to help our family, the wellbeing and health of the family is always a responsibility of the adults.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

It's time to move on to our final practise task, and you've done a brilliant job with this lesson so far.

Well done.

For the first part of this task, I'd like you to highlight the clues that suggest that Izzy's family is healthy.

Izzy says, "My parents make sure that I have enough to eat every day and that I get plenty of sleep too.

When I spend time with my family, I feel loved and cared for.

We have family rules that everyone shows respect and that if someone tells us a secret, we tell our parents.

I know that my parents look after our family, but I do what I can to help too, like cleaning up after myself.

Sometimes my family has struggles, but my parents always support us through them." Can you highlight the clues that suggest that Izzy's family is healthy? Pause the video and we'll go through the answers in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

Your answer should look a little bit like this: "I have enough to eat every day and that I get plenty of sleep too," should be highlighted.

The other sentences that should be highlighted are: "I feel loved and cared for," "everyone shows respect," "if someone tells us a secret, we tell our parents," "my parents look after our family, but I do what I can to help too," and "my parents always support us through them." Well done if you highlighted the same parts of the paragraph.

For the next part of this task, I'd like you to explain to your partner why two to three of the clues you highlighted show that Izzy's family are healthy.

Pause the video and we'll go through what you might have said in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

For "I have enough to eat every day and that I get plenty of sleep too" and "I feel loved and cared for," these show Izzy's basic needs are being met.

"We have family rules that everyone shows respect, and "My parents look after our family, but I do what I can to help too," these rules and routines show everyone is being treated fairly in Izzy's family.

"If someone tells us a secret, we tell our parents," this shows that Izzy's being kept safe.

And "My parents always support us," this shows that the wellbeing and health of the family is always the responsibility of Izzy's adults.

Well done if you discussed the same thing or if you had something similar.

We're now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.

In today's lesson, we've learned that every family is different and special, but families are never perfect.

Many families may struggle with not having enough money or enough time that they would like.

Families need rules to keep things fair and safe and to help everyone know what is expected of them.

Some surprises are okay, like a surprise present or birthday party, but if we're told to keep a secret from our trusted adults, we should tell them straight away.

This helps to keep us safe.

And finally, it's never our fault if there are problems with our family, and we can always get support from another trusted adult.

In today's lesson, you might have found that you've got some worries or questions.

If you do, it's really important that you share these with a trusted adult.

There's also some resources that are on the screen that are there to help you too.

Well done for your fantastic hard work in today's lesson.

I'm really proud of you and I hope to see you in another lesson soon.
