In our PSHE lesson this afternoon, year 1 have begun to learn about gender stereotypes. Our first activity was to sort the activity cards into two hoops depending on whether it was more likely to be liked or done by a boy or a girl. We found a few problems with this as we found that some things could be for both boys or girls and were unsure where to put these cards. We solved this problem by moving the hoops so there was a crossover zone for ’everyone’. We looked again at the cards and after some discussion we found that all the activities could be moved into the ’everyone’ section.
Well done year 1 on overcoming stereotypes. You showed that it doesn’t matter if you are a boy or a girl, you can like and do whatever you want.
