At Donington Cowley Endowed Primary School our teaching of PSHE aims to equip our children with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead happy, healthy lives and to be effective, passionate learners. We bring together Personal, Social, Health Education, emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual development that will encourage our children to be tolerant and empathise with others, whilst developing their own sense of worth, inner confidence and resilience.
Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (Puzzle) at the same time. This enables each Puzzle to start with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for children and a structure to their PSHE learning.
The Jigsaw PSHE topics are:
Term 1: Being me in my own world
Term 2: Celebrating difference
Term 3: Dreams and goals
Term 4: Healthy me
Term 5: Relationships
Term 6: Changing me
- Who I am?
- How do I fit in?
- How do I feel and how might I manage this?
- What are choices and consequences? Why may these be important?
- How does my world compare to other people's world?
