This Powerpoint essentially contains two lessons on LGBTQ. This Powerpoint starts with definitions of LGBTQ+. It contains information and history of the rainbow flag. It contains the life story of Jin Xing, a transgender Chinese ballet dancer. There is opportunity to see ballet as a dance that requires muscle and strength with the opportunity of creating short ballet routines in groups. At the end of the Powerpoint is a link to a story called Roxy the Racoon by Alice Reeves. There is an activity to complete that requires children to invent their own inclusive character for a children’s book. These lessons were made with Year 4 students in mind but is very open to all ages. It is easily accessible and explains things simply in a way that all children should understand.

I taught this to a Year 4 class but this can be used from Year 4 - Year 6. This will support children in knowing how to cope with loss and exploring this and strategies to support them. Included in this are the tasks and links to stories on Youtube so you do not need the physical book yourself.
