3. Overview…
Outline: This series of 4 lessons looks at the relationships that students have, focusing on appropriate behaviour in different kinds of relationships, family relationships, friendships and anti-bullying. It builds on the work started in the last lesson of the previous unit. How you deal with the first lesson on this unit will depend on what your class did in the last lesson of the previous unit and the road that discussion went down. This is the same for the last lesson on this unit on anti-bullying. You will need to know the needs of your class and focus on the aspects of relationships and bullying that are most relevant for them. Assessment: There are some writing tasks and these can be carried out both in books and/or as a class, creating a relationships display using the character of Richard. Progression can be shown by having students add to the class display/individual work on Richard. An example of this type can be found on the website Extended Enquiry: This unit also includes the year 7 extended enquiry, which will be carried out over the Christmas break. There is a final slide explaining the task, which should be shared with students in the week before the holidays. Hand-outs for the students explaining the task will be printed centrally and given to you through the tutor team. Other information: At the same time as this unit of work is in progress, there will be a rolling rota of sessions with PC Adam about his role in the school, joint enterprise, etc and deaf awareness with Leigh Bish.

You will be using Richard a lot over the coming lessons. A good distancing technique is to have students discuss how Richard feels about things and what his relationships are like. It could be useful to print an A3 copy of Richard to put on your wall and have students add different things to him over the course of tutor time lessons.
