We teach PSHE weekly as part of our curriculum, following the Cambridge Primary Personal Development Plan. Our lessons utilise stories and animations to communicate complex ideas and give children the opportunity to share their ideas through role play, discussions and reflection.Our curriculum progresses across the school, building upon learning, and focuses on the following areas:

 

• Citizenship - considering what makes us who we are by investigating how we are similar to and different from each other, and how to value different types of people. We think about our community, learning about who looks after us and how we can look after our neighbourhood.

• Rights, Rules and Responsibilities - considering the purpose of rules and how we take part in making them. We think about our own responsibilities and how we can work well with others.

• Financial capability - discovering where money comes from and where it goes when we use it. We consider what adults need to spend money on and how to get ‘value for money’. We learn about poverty and reflect on the role that charity plays in helping others.

• Myself & My Relationships - thinking about our family and friends, discussing what makes them special to us and what makes a good friend. We explore our own emotions and how to recognise and respond to emotions in ourselves and others. We learn what bullying is and what to do if we encounter it.

• Health & Safer Lifestyles - learning how to recognise risky situations and how to keep ourselves safe. We discuss who we can trust and talk to if we feel unsafe and consider how to stay safe in different contexts, including on the roads, in the sun and in water
