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 10-11.
Term 5: Relationships
In this Puzzle, we will learn more about mental health and how to take care of our own mental well-being. We will explore the grief cycle and its various stages, and discuss the different causes of grief and loss. We will also learn about people who can try to control us or have power over us. We will investigate online safety, learning how to judge if something is safe and helpful, as well as talking about communicating with friends and family in a positive and safe way.
Term 4: Changing Me
In this Puzzle, we will learn about puberty in boys and girls and the changes that will happen; we will reflect on how they feel about these changes. The children will also learn about childbirth and the stages of development of a baby, starting at conception. They will explore what it means to be be physically attracted to someone and the effect this can have upon the relationship. They will learn about different relationships and the importance of mutual respect and not pressuring/being pressured into doing something that they don’t want to. The children will also learn about self-esteem, why it is important and ways to develop it. Finally, they will look at the transition to secondary school (or next class) and what they are looking forward to/are worried about and how they can prepare themselves mentally.
