Year 6: Being Assertive in PSHE

 

Speak Up- Stand Tall:

Year 6 Learn The Importance of Assertiveness

In PSHE this week, Year 6 have been learning the importance of being assertive—speaking up confidently and respectfully.

The children created posters showing the difference between passive, aggressive and assertive behaviours, and then brought their ideas to life through drama. They acted out real-life scenarios and practised using calm, confident communication.

Here’s what some of our pupils said:

• “Being assertive means you don’t let people walk all over you, but you don’t shout either.”
• “I liked acting out problems because it helped me see how to fix them in real life.”
• “It feels good to speak up without being rude.”
• “You can still be kind and still stand your ground.”

We’re so proud of how mature and thoughtful Year 6 were. They’re learning to find their voice—and use it in a positive way!
