Description

This unit covers celebrating differences in families, understanding family changes such as separation or new members, recognising challenges families face, coping with grief and bereavement and learning how to support each other. Pupils explore diverse family structures and build empathy.

In Year 4, pupils are gaining a deeper understanding of family differences and that families face challenges and changes. Building on their previous learning, this unit extends to family changes, including separation, new members, illness, and bereavement. This is timely as pupils may experience significant family changes and need vocabulary and strategies to cope. By exploring these concepts now, pupils develop respect for diverse family structures, empathy for those facing challenges and understanding that seeking support is important.
