  • Relationships

Description

This unit focuses on qualities and behaviours that contribute to strong, supportive friendships. Pupils learn how to build new friendships, repair damaged relationships, maintain healthy friendships over time and recognise when friendships need to change or end, developing practical skills.

At Year 5, pupils are further developing their social skills and navigating more complex friendship dynamics. Building on previous learning about friendship, this unit focuses on practical qualities and behaviours that make a great friend. This is timely as pupils experience deeper friendships and need skills to build, repair, maintain and sometimes end friendships appropriately. By learning these concepts now, pupils develop advanced friendship skills including conflict resolution, communication and setting healthy boundaries.

  1. Building strong friendships
  2. Repairing damaged friendships
  3. Maintaining friendships
  4. Changing and ending friendships
