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.

Farmer’s market is set up and ready for business! Year 5 will be creating their own business idea, deciding what food to use in their healthy snack, pricing up costs and profit and designing their packaging for customers. #smithdowndt #smithdownpshe #stempterprise
In PSHE we have been acting out different scenarios linked to bullying. We now have an understanding of what a bystander is and how we can help stop bullying! ✋ 🛑 #smithdownpshe
We have been reading a model text about an unkind troll. After our world of difference work we decided to draw some kind trolls #smithdownpshe
For our World of Difference work today we looked at some heroes (goodies) and villains (baddies). We talked about each character and decided that you can’t judge if they are good or evil by how they look. It is by how they act or behave to others #smithdownpshe
Celebrating each other in Reception by painting our friends @SmithdownPr #smithdowneyfs #smithdownpshe
Year 5 looked at visible differences in people, focusing on ‘baddies’ and what they usually look like. We discussed that everyone is unique in their own way and villains shouldn’t have a stereotypical look about them. #smithdownpshe
#smithdownpshe Thank you to all the ambassadors at @FaceEquality for helping us learn about facial and visible differences today in our World of Difference PSHE lesson. We loved learning about your stories, thank you for sharing them. @MissMcFarlane
Year 4 have had a wonderful afternoon learning all about stereotypes and facial disfigurations. #smithdownpshe
