Over the course of term 3 and 4, 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 10-11.
Term 3: Dreams and Goals
In this Puzzle, we will talk about our own strengths and stretch ourselves by setting challenging and realistic goals. We will discuss the learning steps we’ll need to take as well as talking about how to stay motivated. We will explore various global issues and explore places where people may be suffering or living in difficult situations – whilst reflecting on our own emotions linked to this learning. We will also talk about what we think our classmates like and admire about us as well as working on giving praise and compliments to others.
