PSHE
#smithdownpshe Tweets
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.

We went to visit ‘The Huge Bag of Worries’ today and thought about who we can talk to if we have a worry #smithdownpshe
#smithdownre #smithdownpshe Following on from ‘Heroes and Villains’ last week, we have been discussing how actions can make a better world 🌎 Our own ‘Codes for Living’ link to our school motto of ‘Showing Kindness and Respect to Others.’
We created our own colour monsters after talking about our hopes, fears and emotions #smithdownpshe
Today we discussed the four zones of regulation. Look at our faces - can you guess the emotion we are showing and what colour zone we are in? #smithdownpshe
In our zones of regulation lesson, we spoke about appropriate and inappropriate behaviour (right and wrong). Can you spot the inappropriate (wrong) behaviour in our freeze frames? #smithdownpshe
Look at this wonderful work telling us all about Milo’s journey through the story, who he asked for advice and what we think he should do with his money @LifeSavers_edu #milosmoney #smithdownpshe
We have been looking at nature for mental health awareness. Today we did a meditation on appreciating nature from @Headspace and then we wrote down how nature makes us feel and where our favourite places of nature are. Then we sketched them. #smithdownextra #smithdownpshe
For mental health week we introduced Yoga into our day. We learnt about our breathing & how it can help us feel calm #smithdowneyfs #smithdownextra #smithdownpshe
At lunch time we went into our edible garden to be in nature. We found some mushrooms growing and spoke about all the different ways to eat rhubarb. Great way to start our break. #smithdownpshe #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #mentalhealth
Today in our Milo’s Money @LifeSavers_edu lesson we thought about spending and saving. We decided through voting what we would buy now or save for from the list and then we talked to our partners about we would like to save for #smithdownpshe #smithdownmaths
