In today’s PSHE lesson, we discussed menstruation (having a period), erections, and wet dreams. We also talked about how babies are made from a sperm and an egg, and how this relates to why periods happen. The children were very sensible and asked lots of great questions.
I have advised the children to speak to parents and carers if they have any additional questions. The children in this class did not ask in class how the sperm and egg come together, although this is a question that children may ask at home. Typically, most PSHE schemes introduce teaching about sexual intercourse in Year 6; however, you know your own child best and will have a good sense of what information they are ready to understand. If you would like any support or advice on this topic, please feel free to ask.
