Relationships

Year 3 start by studying Relationships Education covering the age appropriate outcomes that are statutory as per the 2019 government guidance. This includes forging and maintaining positive friendships. This is vital to Year 3 as the children are new to the Junior School and their friendships are likely to have changed from KS1. As part of the topic of Relationships Education, Year 3 will also study the characteristics of a healthy family life and how families support each other.

Monarchy

Year 3 study the political system of monarchy discussing the future of modern monarchy and the future of the monarchy, this forms part of the citizenship element of PSHCE.

Safety

Next, Year 3 will consider the topic of ‘being safe’. The sequence of learning and learning objectives for this topic have been taken from the government guidance and made age appropriate. These studies will examine the correct responses to negatives pressures and adults they may not know. Pupils will also study knowing how to report concerns or abuse, and will be equipped with the vocabulary and confidence needed to do so as well as recognising feelings of being unsafe around certain adults. As they are important issues, these topics are revisited throughout the entire PSHCE program of study.

Living in the Wider World

Year 3 will also discuss the concept of living in the wider world and integral to these studies is the examination of stereotypes, communities and respectful behaviour.

Hygiene and Well-being

Children will build upon their knowledge of hygiene and will examine physical well-being encompassing dental hygiene and why it is important to eat and sleep well.

Individual Liberty

Finally, in Year 3, pupils explore the Fundamental British Value of individual liberty. This is because, as set out by the government’s 2014 prevent strategy, all schools have a duty to ‘actively promote’ the fundamental British values.

Relationships

When studying Relationships Education, Year 5 will begin by comparing the different types of relationships, which leads into their studies on online safety.  As Year 5 is an age whereby the pupils are using the Internet more this is an appropriate place for a unit of online safety lessons to be placed.

First Aid, Emergency and Health

Year 5 will also discuss basic first aid skills such as how to make an emergency call and the potential effects of sun exposure. Pupils will also discuss important issues such as the facts and science behind immunisations, vaccinations and allergies. As is pertinent at the time of writing this with the COVID-19 outbreak – Year 5 will also have a specific lesson on how bacteria and viruses are spread and treated.

Economy

As the E in PSHCE stands for economics, Year 5 pupils will explore money in a number of ways. They will investigate how one can track and save money, how money can affect a person’s emotions and the risks that can be associated with money.

The Changing Adolescent Body

In Year 5, pupils will study the changing adolescent body. The sequence of learning for this comes from the Department of Education’s training resources for this unit.

Rule of Law

Finally, Year 5 will explore the rule of law as a fundamental British value.

Social Media

As the pupils will have explored Internet safety and harm, they will spend time looking at the media and how it can affect people. This will encompass teaching about social media and knowing how to be a discerning consumer of the Internet.

Harmful Substances

Pupils will look at the potential effects of harmful substances and the need for legal drugs such as medicines. They will also examine the positive effects of a healthy and active lifestyle on both physical and mental health including the negative affects obesity can have.

Respect and Tolerance

Finally, Year 6 pupils will look at the Fundamental British Value of respect and tolerance to conclude their PSHCE studies.

Relationships

In relationships education, Year 6 will build upon their learning from previous years and explore a variety of subjects to do with relationships. The pupils will begin with looking at marriage, civil partnership and the laws associated with this. Pupils will explore same-sex marriage. In order to be factually correct, all information taught will come from the marriage act.

Families

Pupils will then look at how families are different and many types of family including but not limited to: single parents, step and half siblings and same-sex parents. The previous years’ work on respect and tolerance should prepare the Year 6 pupils for these lessons.

Online Safety

In order to prepare the pupils for secondary school, we will cover increased responsibility with age as well as how to seek help with lifestyle changes as one gets older. As their final studies into Relationships Education, Year 6 will build upon the studies from the previous year into online safety. Later in the year, Year 6 will spend a half-term discussing Internet safety and harm.

Socialism

For their learning into political systems, the Year 6 pupils will explore the concept of Socialism. They should be able to use their knowledge from previous years to inform this learning, as this is a more complex concept.
