PSHE Curriculum Intent
Our Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) curriculum at Riverside Primary School equips pupils with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to keep themselves healthy and safe and to prepare them for life and work in modern Britain with an in-depth understanding of fundamental British Values. In addition we enable our children to become healthy, independent and responsible members of society whilst developing their skills in resilience; self-esteem; risk-management; team work and critical thinking.
They develop an understanding of how to tackle spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues as well as sensitive issues which they may encounter in their lives.
PSHE in Early Years
PSHE in the early years is taught through a variety of adult led and child initiated activities. All activities and play based learning opportunities are guided by the interests of the individuals in the settings. PSHE forms the basic structure of the EYFS with numerous opportunities for the children to develop within each of the strands.
PSHE is taught in three main strands:
Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe. They manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs successfully, including dressing and going to the toilet independently.
Children play co-operatively, taking turns with others. They take account of one another’s ideas about how to organise their activity. They show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.
Children talk about how they and others show feelings, talk about their own and others’ behaviour, and its consequences, and know that some behaviour is unacceptable. They work as part of a group or class, and understand and follow the rules. They adjust their behaviour to different situations, and take changes of routine in their stride.
