Year 6 - Sex Education
Starting a Family - How Do Loving Families Have Children?
In this lesson, we will revisit what we learned earlier in the year about human reproduction, as we look at this topic again, but this time in the context of loving and intimate relationships.
We will discuss the concept of family, what it means to start one, and some of the different ways loving couples can show commitment to one another. This discussion will lead to the different ways loving couples (including same-sex couples) may decide to have children if they wish to start a family together.
We will touch on topics such as adoption, IVF, and surrogacy, and explain that, for most couples, babies are conceived naturally when a man and a woman consent to having sexual intercourse.
The process of natural conception (including sexual intercourse) will be explained to the students in an age-appropriate and scientific manner. We will also briefly mention that, for many grown-up couples, sexual intercourse is a way to express their love for each other.
As always, this lesson is fully editable, allowing you to make any adjustments that you feel would better suit the needs of your students, in accordance with your parent consultation.
