‘Relationships: Our Special People’

Home Learning Lessons

During this challenging period, many young people are missing their usual interactions with friends and family. These home learning lessons for members focus on the positive ways that our ‘special people’ care for one another, especially in families and friendships. They encourage pupils to consider the most important aspects of maintaining positive relationships and reflect on how this can be challenging at times of change or uncertainty.

Pupils are supported to talk about close relationships, recognise how their special people care for them and show how they too can care for others. They also encourage pupils to express worries about missing friends and family, and consider positive ways to manage these feelings.

In the Key Stage 2 lesson pupils learn to:

• identify the qualities of positive friendships and family relationships.
• explain how friends and family show they value and care for each other.
• describe what is most important in a friendship or family relationship.
• recognise that friendships and family relationships may change for different reasons and how to manage this.
