Year 5 - Gender Stereotypes

Date: 16th Nov 2022 @ 7:44am

Today we watched a video from Primary Futures, about gender stereotypes. The video began by explaining that we were going to be introduced to 4 people whose jobs were:

• Tree surgeon
• Engineer 
• Forest school leader 
• Nurse 

Before we actually saw the people, we had a good discussion as a class about what gender we thought the person who did each job would be. We realised that some of us went straight to a specific gender due to our preconceptions about the roles of men and women in society. We then agreed that we can't make assumptions on people based solely on their gender.
