At Smithdown Primary School, through our ethos of ‘Together We Grow’, we aim to develop the whole child to prepare them for the future. Through the teaching of PSHE and RHE we hope to help children to grow up to be healthy, happy safe and able to manage the challenges and opportunities of modern Britain.
We believe in modelling key skills of sharing, turn taking and caring about and respecting others. The children learn the skills for keeping themselves healthy and safe and for behaving well. They have opportunities to show they can take some responsibility for themselves and their environment. The children begin to learn about their own and other people’s feelings and become aware of the views, needs and rights of other children and older people.. As members of a class and school community, they learn social skills such as how to share, take turns, play, help others, resolve simple arguments and behave in a supportive way. They begin to take an active part in the life of their school and its neighbourhood
We also teach HRE in an age appropriate way that prepares children for the future. As the children move into key stage two, they learn how to make more confident and informed choices about their health and environment. They also learn about themselves as growing and changing individuals with their own experiences and ideas, and as members of their communities. This is achieved both indoors and in the outdoor environment through Forest School activities and placing high value on the role of parents in their children’s learning.

For our growth topic we had a lovely story time this morning all about the story of Vincent Van Gogh and how we should be kind to each other 🎨 #smithdowneyfs #smithdownart #smithdownreaders #smithdownpshe
Yesterday in PSHE, we learned about keeping ourselves healthy through a balanced diet. We even cut out our favourite foods and sorted them into fruits and vegetables, carbohydrates, proteins, dairy, fats, oils and spreads! #goodtobehealthy #smithdownpshe #balanceddiet #healthyme
Our confidence has grown this afternoon balancing across beams at different heights. We helped each other when we needed a helping hand. #smithdowneyfs #smithdownpshe #smithdownpe

Challenge completed! 👊🏻 Today in PSHE we were set the challenge of making a car just using a banana. This tested our team work and creativity but we did it! #smithdownpshe
Today in PSHE, we were set a challenge! The challenge was to design a garden decoration for our garden of dreams and goals. #smithdownpshe

Our PHSE lesson led to a healthy yet heated debate on what jobs are more important and why? We had to justify our answers, the battle between singers and footballers was a tough one! #smithdownpshe @MissMcFarlane
In PHSE we explored Jigsaw Jack’s treasure chest and placed some pictures of his friends successes and achievements inside. We then made our own treasure chests and our teacher gave us a special coin to put inside for something we have achieved recently #smithdownpshe
