Why do populations change?

Our enquiry question this half-term is all about the global population and why/how it changes.  We will begin by looking at the change and distribution of the global population, then look at birth and death rates and reasons why they might change.  We will then study migration and its 'push and pull' factors before investigating how climate change impacts the population.

Jigsaw PSHE - Celebrating Differences

In this unit the class explore culture and cultural differences. They link this to racism, talking about what it is and how to be aware of their own feelings towards people from different cultures. They revisit the topic of bullying and discuss rumour spreading and name-calling. The children talk about direct and indirect bullying as well as ways to encourage children to not using bullying behaviours. The class talk about happiness regardless of material wealth and respecting other people’s cultures. 

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
