Words within this topic can be funny to pupils and distract lessons and slow them down. I normally start by asking the class what words do they know to do with, sex, puberty, etc.
I write these on the board and the class giggles but after a few minutes the class calms down and this stops the giggles throughout the lesson when these words come up.

Not sure if anyone else has come across this, but there is quite a big Anti-RSE movement going on, and I know of a few local people involved, even going as far as to remove children from school altogether.

This strand focuses on:

learning about how living things grow, reproduce and have a life cycle

developing an understanding of the human body, including people’s feelings about their bodies and how these can be represented

the health issues related to relationships and sexuality

an understanding of how sexuality and sexual health affects our well-being.

In early development, learners need to experience contexts for understanding the importance of maintaining personal health and well-being, including hygiene, and how this impacts on themselves and others. This progresses to applying broad principles of health and hygiene within sexual health.

As learners develop, teaching and learning needs to include focus on exploring how physical changes have an impact on well-being and relationships ensuring the representation of LGBTQ+ experiences and lives. Learning also focuses on menstrual well-being and conditions which can affect the reproductive system; as well as developing understanding of the possible outcomes of the decisions made relating to sexual health and relationships. All of this learning will focus on recognising the diversity of human body types, how perception and understanding of the human body is shaped by society, the law, science and technology and the impact of this on well-being.
