Major changes are being planned for the primary school curriculum.
There'll be a greater focus on wellbeing and digital skills in the largest reform for 25 years.
Five areas are to overhauled in the curriculum including well being, languages, STEM subjects, the Environment and Art.
Some of the biggest changes are in well being with focus being on children understanding and regulating their emotions.
There will also be a focus on consent and what a healthy and unhealthy relationship is.
Using the proper words for body parts and understanding self identity and self worth will also be included.
The online world and how this can impact children's wellbeing will also be taught.
