Understanding Puberty: A Key Stage 2 RSE Resource
This informative and animated Kapow Primary RSE/PSHE video supports Year 5 pupils as they begin to learn about the physical and emotional changes that take place during puberty. With clear, age-appropriate language and visuals, it introduces the changes that happen to both boys and girls as their bodies develop and mature, helping to lay the foundation for healthy understanding and confidence.
Learning About Growing Up
Pupils will explore key concepts including the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast growth, changes to genitals, pubic and underarm hair, voice changes, and skin changes like spots. The video also explains the role of hormones and how they can affect both the body and emotions, normalising the wide range of feelings that can occur during this stage of life.
