Our PSHE Class Rules and Expectations

Let's Review our class PSHE rules and expectations discussed in the previous lesson!

You have scrap paper on your tables to write down questions as our discussion is happening.

The next two lessons in separate groups so you can feel completely comfortable asking any questions you have.

How do our bodies change physically?

Remember..Some changes are physical and some are emotional. Some of

these we can control and some we can’t.

Today we are going to focus on physical changes and while

some changes we have in common (getting spots, sweating)

many of these changes are different for girls and boys.

These changes do not happen at the same age for all

children – some begin to go through puberty when they are

as young as 8 or 9, others don’t begin until they are 12, 13

or even 14.

So do not worry if your body doesn’t change as early as

some of your friends – the changes will happen when your

body is ready.

Puberty – A Closer Look

Everyone goes through puberty. Every adult has already experienced it and every

young person will get there soon, and yet…

…we still get embarrassedand don’t like talking about it!

We’re in a safe place with adults we trust so we’re going to look at a few aspects of

puberty in a little more detail.

Puberty for Girls

Puberty for girls starts between 8 and 14. It happens at different times for different girls but your body will

begin to change when it is ready.

Emotion - Hormones

The hormones in your body that cause changes to occur during puberty may also affect your mood. You may have highs and

lows and feel a bit more emotional especially near the time of your period.

Sweat glands become bigger and more active, causing you to sweat more. Personal hygiene (washing) is important and you may want to start

using deodorant/antiperspirant when this happens.

HairHair will begin to grow under your arms and in your pubic region. The

texture of the hair on your head may also change a little due to hormones.

Sweat Glands

Your breasts will start to get bigger, your hips will start to get wider and you may find that some girls are growing taller than the boys.

This is because boys’ puberty begins a little later than girlsbut most of them will catch you up.

MenstruationOtherwise known as ‘periods’, this monthly bleeding will start at some

time during puberty and is part of your body’s monthly cycle. The average is to have a period every 28 days which lasts 3-4 days, but they

can be anywhere between 24 and 35 days apart and last 1-7 days.

We will discuss this in more detail.

DischargeDischarge is a fluid produced by your vagina.

It should be colourless or white and is your vagina’s way of keeping clean and healthy. You may notice it before you start your periods, and

also in between periods.

What Are Periods?

• Periods (menstruation) happen due to the hormones changing in your body.

• Even before birth, a girl has 1-2 million tiny eggs (ovum) in her ovaries.

• When puberty is reached, an egg is released each month from her ovaries.

• The egg moves from the ovary and along the fallopian tube and down into the uterus (womb).

• The lining of the uterus and the egg leave your body through your vagina; this is called a ‘period’.

Why Do Periods Start?

Periods are caused by hormone levels changing within your body.

It is nature’s way of preparing your body for having a baby when you are

older.

Periods are a normal part of the female reproductive cycle.

Puberty for Boys

There are lots of signs that a boy is growing up.Most boys begin puberty somewhere between the ages of 9

and 14 – but it’s different for everyone.

Larynx - Voice

Boys’ voices will gradually deepen but until this settles down they could sound croaky and produce some interesting

sounds! This is their voice breaking.

Page 16: Our PSHE Class Rules and Expectations · Hair will begin to grow under your arms and in your pubic region. The texture of the hair on your head may also change a little due to hormones

Like girls, hormones can make boys more sweaty and spotty – good personal hygiene (washing and deodorising) is all

important.

HairArmpits, legs, arms, face, chest and the

pubic region all become more hairy.

Sweat

HeightA boy’s body keeps growing until it’s reach a height that it

will stay at. They may become more muscular too.

Penis, Scrotum and Testicles

The penis and testicles grow.The extra hormones may also cause mood swings while these

changes are taking place.

Wet DreamsBoys’ bodies also start producing sperm which may be ejaculated

(released from the penis) during sleep.

Remember…puberty is not a secret!

Every adult or older teenager has already experienced it, so if there’s anything you

feel worried about, they will probably understand.

Sanitary ProductsDisposable Sanitary Pads

Pads for your period come in various thicknesses and absorbency. You can

purchase them with or without wings that fold over to prevent leaking.

Select a pad based on how heavy your period is and what kind of clothes you’ll be

wearing. You may want to buy two types of pads: a thicker one for your heavy

flow days, and a thin one for the days you're just spotting. Be sure to change your

pad before it is saturated. Most girls need to change pads every few hours.

Tampons

Tampons are cotton tubes with a string on one end. You insert them into your

vagina to absorb menstrual blood. The string helps you remove the tampon.

Many tampons come with plastic or cardboard applicators to help you insert

them. Some don't have applicators, and you use your finger to insert them.

Tampons generally come in light, regular, and super thickness. Often girls start

with light or slender tampons. But the size you choose should depend on how

heavy your period is.

It's important to change tampons at least once every four to eight hours. Insert

a new tampon before going to bed and remove it as soon as you wake up.

Leaving a tampon in too long increases your risk of toxic shock syndrome,

caused by bacteria. Some women prefer to use something other than a

tampon at night to avoid this risk.

Menstrual Cups and Cloth Pads

A menstrual cup is made of silicone or rubber. You place it in your vagina to

hold the blood. These cups can be disposable or reusable. Reusable menstrual

cups should be emptied every 6 to 12 hours. Single-use cups are also available

and should be removed and thrown away after 12 hours. These products can

be more expensive to buy than pads or tampons.

Washable cloth pads are the traditional method that women have used for

centuries during their period. You can purchase them online or make your

own. However, these are a less popular option now as they’re more difficult to manage hygienically.
