Her aim is to support (not substitute) families in this important area of education.  Your role in this time is important, as Kelly will be asking the students to interview you regarding your experience of teen years, this allows you to be actively involved and also gives Kelly a prompt for our second session regarding the social and emotional changes of puberty.The Year 5's will complete sessions in their classrooms spread across 3 weeks.The Year 6's will complete sessions as a cohort session and then as a session split into males and females.
