How do you support Year 5 students as they face the big transitions of puberty, high school and finding their own identity? Transform your Health & Physical Education lessons with this empowering, real-world unit that helps students make healthy, informed choices!

Step into the world of "Health & Wellbeing - Empowering Choices", a comprehensive HPE unit designed to save you time and tackle the "growing up" topics with sensitivity and confidence. This unit focuses on the pivotal moment of Year 5, blending the personal journey of "Identity and Change" with the essential social skills of "Respect and Consent", while connecting to vital lessons about safety and community impact.

Packed with "identity sculptures," "stereotype-busting skits" and "wellbeing campaigns", this unit will transform your classroom into a brave space for inquiry where students don't just learn about health, they actively shape their own future as Resilient Individuals, Empathetic Friends and Smart Consumers.

What's Inside?

This comprehensive unit is meticulously planned to cover the Year 5 Personal, Social and Community Health strand with age-appropriate depth. You will find:

• 10 Engaging Lesson Plans: Guide your students through the complexities of growing up. From exploring 'Who Are We? (Identity)' and navigating 'Puberty and Change', to challenging 'Gender Stereotypes', practicing 'Respect and Empathy', understanding 'Consent' and becoming 'Smart Health Consumers'.
• Curriculum Aligned: This unit supports key learning objectives for Year 5. It covers Identities and Change (puberty, transitions), Interacting with Others (empathy, diversity) and Making Healthy and Safe Choices (protective behaviours, online safety).
• Play-Based & Experiential Learning: Foster genuine understanding with interactive activities. Imagine your students creating 'Identity Sculptures' to represent their unique selves, acting out 'Role Reversal Skits' to challenge stereotypes, building a 'Wellbeing Toolkit' for puberty and designing their own 'Community Wellbeing Campaign'.
• Built-in Assessment & Differentiation: Effortlessly monitor student progress. The unit includes formative tasks like the 'Support Network Web' and 'Health Info Scavenger Hunt', with differentiation strategies such as providing sentence starters for difficult conversations or challenging students to research complex health topics.
• Personal & Social Development: Help students connect health concepts to their daily lives. Activities encourage them to practice 'Positive Affirmations', identify 'Trusted Adults' for help-seeking and understand the 'Ripple Effect' of their actions on the wider community.

Summative Assessment Task:

Conclude the unit with the "My Wellbeing Action Plan". In this practical assessment, students synthesise their learning to create a personalised plan. They identify strategies to manage change, set goals for their physical and mental health and demonstrate their understanding of how to access support and make positive choices for themselves and others.
