consent for kids

Consent is like being ruler of your own country...population: YOU. This is a smart, playful guide to consent and bodily autonomy. There is an upcoming book, based on this video that's packed with bright and energetic illustrations.

In PHSE today we discussed consent and the meaning of this. What do we know about consent? Together we explored what this means and when do we need to have consent. See the link to view the video we watched in class.

Week Commencing 16th January 2023

In Elm class we are studying life in Bagdad in 700AD. Interestingly, the first Abbey at Crowland was built around the same time. We visited the Abbey and were given a tour and told all about its history and heritage.

To get the feel of life in Lincolnshire during Medieval times, we found out about St Guthlac. Crowland was an island with 3 rivers which met where the Trinity Bridge is today. The marshland surrounding Crowland made life a little damp and difficult to grow food.

But, just like Bagdad, the four main roads are called North, East, South and West Streets. Miles away from each other we can see the importance of a place of worship at the centre of a community. A great time was had by all.
