Over the course of term 5 and 6, we will continue to follow our Jigsaw PSHE scheme of learning. Jigsaw, the mindful approach to PSHE is a progressive and spiral scheme of learning. In planning the lessons, Jigsaw PSHE ensures that learning from previous years is revisited and extended, adding new concepts, knowledge and skills, year on year as appropriate.
For more information regarding the knowledge and skills progression, please view the Jigsaw Knowledge Skills and Progression Document for ages 7-8.
Term 5: Relationships
In this Puzzle, we will identify the roles and responsibilities of each member of our family and can reflect on the expectations for males and females. We will also identify and put into practice some of the skills of friendship e.g. taking turns, being a good listener and how we can use some strategies for keeping ourselves safe online. Following on from this we will discuss how some of the actions and work of people around the world help and influence our lives. At the end of this unit children will understand how their needs and rights are shared by children around the world and that they can identify how everyone’s lives may be different. Furthermore, we will explore how to express our appreciation to our friends and family
Term 6: Changing me
In this Puzzle, we will develop our understanding that in animals and humans, lots of changes happen from birth to fully grown, and that usually it is the female who has the baby. We will discuss how babies grow and develop in the mother’s uterus and explore what a baby needs to live and grow. After that, we will discuss that boys’ and girls’ bodies need to change so that when they grow up their bodies can make babies. We will identify how boys’ and girls’ bodies change on the outside during this growing up process. Following on from this, we will identify how boys’ and girls’ bodies change on the inside during the growing up process and why these changes are necessary so that our bodies can make babies when they grow up. Furthermore, we will start to recognise stereotypical ideas we might have about parenting and family roles.
Finally, we will identify what the children are looking forward to when they move to their next class.
