Year 3 - Respect and Boundaries
Primary PSHE - Year 3 - Respect and Boundaries Bundle
This 5-week scheme of work is taken from the [ EC Publishing Primary PSHE scheme](/teaching-resource/primary-pshe-package-12645709).
Our curriculum builds progressively, leading to this Year 3 unit on Respect and Boundaries. In Year 1, pupils were introduced to the idea of permission, learning what it means and when it is important to ask for it. They also explored the idea that their bodies belong to them and that they have the right to choose whether or not they want to be touched. In Year 2, this developed into learning about safety rules, understanding which parts of their bodies are private, and being introduced to the idea of bullying through the story One by Kathryn Otoshi.
In this Year 3 unit, pupils continue to build on their understanding of personal rights and respectful behaviour. They revisit the idea of permission in greater depth and are introduced to the concept of consent, learning that it means willingly agreeing when someone asks. They will explore different types of boundaries that help keep them safe, including physical boundaries, personal boundaries, and friendship boundaries. The unit also deepens their understanding of bullying by exploring teasing, and helping pupils recognise when playful behaviour can cross the line and hurt someone's feelings.
