Picture News At South Hill School, we utilise the Picture News of our PSHE lessons in Spring 1 and 2. ​ In our first assembly of the week on a Monday morning, the pupils are introduced to the topic they will be following in 'Picture News' for their PSHE lessons. This week, we discovered that in 2025, pupils will be allowed to study British sign language as a GCSE. We thought about this key question; 'Should we learn sign language at school?' ​ Sign Language in School Picture News for Parents So how can Picture News support our pupil’s understanding of PSHE? Picture News is a fantastic resource to help our school teach pupils about current affairs and what’s happening in the world by using real life learning. This facilitates them to develop respect for others whilst incorporating the technique of reflection. Furthermore, it allows pupils to learn about themselves and what interests them. This can then sparks their own imaginations, passions and what they want to change or act upon by voicing opinions and feelings about the topic. There are a number of related resources to facilitate this process such as; useful vocabulary, British Values, Protective Characteristics and on some occasions (if topic specific) the UN Convention of the Rights of the Pupils (UNCRC, 1989). ​ ​ Picture News Spring 2 2024 Picture News Spring 1 2024 Picture News Pupil Voice

Art Art Vision ​ To progress pupils' skills and creativity in drawing, painting, collage, 3D art, textiles, printing, use of IT, sketchbooks and knowledge and for them to understand that this is the process of making art. Curriculum At South Hill, we want to inspire all of our pupils to experiment with art, to see it as an expression of self/mood and to take ownership of their work. Through the use of sketch books, pupils are encouraged to evaluate, experiment and work creatively to ensure they have a freedom of expression in the subject. In EYFS, pupils are introduced to the building the blocks of art through the key learning area ‘Expressive arts and Design’. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupil’s skills and knowl edge are developed through our golden threads, which progress throughout the school and allow us to build on previous knowledge and to make links between what we have already learnt and what we are learning now and in the future: ​ ​ ​ ​ We study a wide variety of a rtists and learn many artistic techniques. For example: In EYFS, pupils experiment with collage based on the work of Matisse In Year 1, pupils study close ups of flowers inspired by Georgia O’Keefe In Year 2, pupils print with leaves in the style of Andy Warhol In Year 3, pupils draw with pencil and charcoal in the style of Quentin Blake In Year 4, pupils research and recreate the work of Watercolour artist Adrienne Pavelka In Year 5, pupils study the history of sculpting to create an Egyptian decorated scarab beetle In Year 6, pupils learn to create a World War 2 landscape print in the style of Paul Nash . ​ Arts Mark Gold and local links South Hill have been awarded Gold in the ‘Arts Mark’ to reflect ‘…children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum…’. We also have a strong link with our local secondary school and a local private school, who run workshops with Upper Key Stage 2 pupils every year to extend pupil’s skill development. Whole School Art Gallery We run an annual art week, where as a school we work with one topic or theme (for example ‘Patterns in Nature’). We explore different skills and styles and produce a final piece of art. This art work is then displayed in a whole school art gallery to which parents are invited to view with their children. Parents can purchase their children’s work, treating the event as a true art gallery. Art competitions We encourage children from EYFS up to Year 6 to take part in art competitions, run and judged both in house and by external companies. For example, we have entered the ‘Dacorum Young Artist’ competition and the ‘CPRE Art’ competition. As a school, we celebrate all who enter, by displaying all entries in assembly and awarding certificates and house points.

Religious Education Religious Education Vision ​ To develop knowledge of religion and worldview by asking ‘big questions’. To respect similarities and differences between people and their cultures. To have the confidence to develop their own sense of identity, belonging and worldview. At South Hill we teach a broad and balanced RE curriculum, which aims to develop skills and knowledge that: promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, social and mental development of pupils prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life promotes British values promotes community cohesion (Education Act, 2006) protects children from the risk of radicalisation, from whatever source (The Prevent duty – departmental advice for schools and childcare providers”, June 2015) ​ Our Curriculum ​ At South Hill, we follow ‘Discovery RE’. This is a comprehensive enquiry-based, teaching programme for Religious Education, which aims to give pupils the knowledge, critical thinking skills, open minded and respectful attitudes with which to investigate the world of religion and beliefs. It encompasses the Worldview approach to RE enabling pupils to form their own decisions about what RE means to them and develop their own personal worldview whilst empathising with what it means to other religious and non religious belief holders. It also aims to enable children to grow spiritually by developing their awareness and skills of reflection, their experience of awe and wonder and their appreciation of stillness and silence. ​ Lessons are carefully mapped out in our ‘Long term plan’ and progress through our six golden threads (the 6 principal religions as well as touching on Humanism in appropriate units): CHRISTIANITY (EYFS, Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6) JUDAISM (Y1, Y2) HINDUISM (Y5) SIKHISM (Y3) BUDDHISM (Y4) ISLAM (EYFS, Y6) ​ The Big Question ​ Lessons are based around a half-termly ‘Big question’ and follow this sequence of progression: Step 1: Engagement: the children’s own experience and world view is explored to act as bridge from their world (which may or may not include religion) into the world of the religion being studied. Step 2: Investigation: over approximately 3 lessons the teacher will guide the children to explore and investigate appropriate subject knowledge relevant to that question of enquiry. Step 3: Evaluation: An assessment activity enables each child to show their thinking and the depth of critical evaluation Step 4: Expression: This refers the children back to the starting point of their own experience and allows them to reflect on whether their findings have influenced their own thinking. ​ Each year group has a special owl from the Owl Crew. They represent wisdom and promote questioning and exploration. The owl will provide answers and challenge with further questions. By the end of Year 6, we want our pupils to: Develop knowledge of world religions by asking ‘big questions.’ Respect the similarities and differences between people and their cultures. Have the confidence to develop their own sense of identity and belonging. ​ ​ Trips, hooks and theme days Our RE curriculum is enriched by a number of school trips, theme days and assemblies and these provide excellent opportunities to bring our learning to life. Examples are: EYFS: Christmas visit to the local church to hang decorations. Year 1: Celebration of Hannukah with parent visitors to explain their living and believing life. Year 3: Theme day exploring Sikhism concluding with a shared Langar Year 5: Visit to Gadebridge Park with the vicar linking the church to local history. Whole school assemblies with Father Mike exploring Easter and Christmas International Day (please see the ‘International Day’ section of our website) Each year at South Hill School, we celebrate 'International Day'. Each class chooses a country from around the world, which is also representative of our South Hill communities. For that day, year groups investigate and learn about their chosen country. They can wear clothes from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. They experience the food, music, dance and interests of the people in that country. Pupils also explore the culture, traditions and beliefs of their chosen country. ​ Long Term Plan Subject Overview Information for Parents ‘I am Muslim and it means I go to London on Saturdays and Sundays to learn Arabic’ Adiyan. ‘I am Hindu and this means we celebrate Diwali which is coming soon.

PSHE Лично, социално и здравно образование PSHE Vision. To support our pupils to be responsible, respectful, resilient and reflective learners, who are able to keep themselves safe, healthy and prepared for secondary school and life beyond. В началното училище South Hill се гордеем, че се грижим за благосъстоянието на нашите ученици и им помагаме да станат позитивни, добре закръглени и активни граждани на бъдещето. Имаме специална програма PSHE, която е проектирана и съобразена с нуждите на нашите ученици / училищна общност. Това се фокусира върху: U обучение на децата как да бъдат успешни граждани насърчаване на благосъстоянието популяризиране на „Британски ценности“ засилване на всички елементи от нашия училищен дух "The South Hill Way". U Тази година създадохме схеми на работа, за да помогнем на учениците да се върнат обратно в училище от блокиране и да гарантираме, че те са имали възможност да обмислят и обработват своите емоции от пандемията и да възстановят приятелствата и отношенията, когато излизаме от блокирането. U Следваме „Кристофър Зимен проект“ за нашата връзка с връзките, наркотиците и сексуалното образование (която е включена в нашата по-широка разпоредба за PSHE) и сме създали набор от „Организатори на знанието“, за да гарантираме, че родителите знаят на какво ще учат децата им „RSE“ във всяка годишна група. RSE, в South Hill, включва следните елементи: U Обучение по взаимоотношения (RSE) - това се фокусира предимно върху преподаването на основните градивни елементи на положителните взаимоотношения, за да се гарантира, че учениците знаят как изглежда една здравословна връзка; където те се оценяват и където съществува равенство, както и да се гарантира, че всички семейства и индивиди са „представени“ и „видяни“. Здравно образование - това се фокусира върху разбирането как да поддържаме телата си здрави и какво означава да имаме здравословен начин на живот, за да гарантираме, че децата могат да бъдат здрави възрастни и да правят добър избор по-късно в живота. Образование за наркотици - това учи децата на факти за законни и незаконни вредни вещества и свързаните с тях рискове, включително тютюнопушене, употреба на алкохол и приемане на наркотици. Сексуално възпитание - това се преподава на най-големите ни деца през 6-та година и ще преподава зачеване и физически акт на секса. Други предмети - други елементи от нашата програма PSHE ще бъдат преподавани чрез предмети като: Наука (човешко тяло и репродукция); Компютърни (безопасност интернет) и PE (важността от поддържането на здрава), както и преподаването, използвайки възможностите на територията на училището засилват ключови понятия. ​ ​ Autumn Term ​ No Outsider ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This scheme promotes: British Values Protected characteristics Personal development ​ ​ Spring term (and used in assemblies all year round) ​ Picture News ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This scheme promotes: British Values Protected characteristics Personal development ​ ​ Summer Term ​ ​ The Christopher Winter Project ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This scheme promotes: Relationship education Health education Drugs education Sex education Online safety ‘No Outsiders’ We follow the ‘No Outsiders’ project which is a book based PSHE scheme created by Andrew Moffat MBE, who was nominated for the Global Teacher Prize in 2018-19. Each week, the children read a book with their class teacher, which promotes British values and the following three core values: Respect for diversity through education in schools; Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of difference; Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society. ​ ​ ​ ​ We believe that it is vital that our pupils can discuss inappropriate and discriminative language and understand how to address boundaries in order to prepare them for a future in modern Britain. We strive to ensure that our pupils are surrounded by a consistent message: · There are no outsiders here; · Everyone is different; · We like being different; · We are all equal in our difference; · I can get along with you even if we are different; · We live in the U.K., our British values support this and the law says this too. ​ ​ Picture News ​ Picture news is a current affairs news scheme, which gives children opportunities to develop learning further through news stories that inspire them. The weekly theme (which is delivered in every Monday assembly) exposes pupils to a range of topics including political, religious, cultural, environmental, social, moral and spiritual issues. Pupils then have the opportunity to discuss these ‘big issues’ with their class teacher. In the Spring term, we use these as a basis for our PSHE lessons so that they can be explored more in depth class. Through this scheme, children have opportunities to: Discover talents and interests through a broad coverage Develop speaking and listening skills Develop the confidence to speak out Develop resilience Understand British Values and Protected Characteristics Develop links between personal, school and community values. Demonstrate respect and tolerance ​ Организатори на знания EYFS Година 6 Година 2 Year 4 Политика на PSHE Subject Overview Прогресия на PSHE Общ преглед на темата на PSHE No Outsiders Long Term Plan EYFS PSHE Overview Picture News Enrichment Page PSHE Friendship South Hill and the Wider Community EYFS PSHE Summer 1 The Christopher Winter Project ​ We follow the 'Christopher Winter Project' for our Relationships, Drug and Sex Education' provision and we have produced a range of 'Knowledge Organisers' to ensure parents know what their children will be taught in 'RSE' in each year group. RSE, at South Hill, includes the following elements (which are outlined in our Topic progression and Overview documents): ​ Relationship Education (RSE) - this primarily focuses on teaching the fundamental building blocks of positive relationships to ensure pupils know what a healthy relationship looks like; where they are valued and where equality exists and to also ensure all families and individuals are 'represented' and 'seen'. Health Education - this focuses on understanding how to keep our bodies healthy and what it means to have a healthy lifestyle to ensure children can be healthy adults and make good choices now and in the future. Drugs Education - this teaches children the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances and the associated risks, including smoking, alcohol use and drug-taking. Sex Education - this is taught to our oldest children in Year 6 and will teach conception and the physical act of sex. ​ ​ ​ Other Subjects Other elements of our PSHE programme are taught through subjects such as: Science (human body and reproduction); Computing (internet safety) and PE (importance of keeping healthy) as well as teaching using opportunities throughout the school day to reinforce key concepts. Pupil Voice Victoria Year 6 – In PSHE we have been reading the book “The only way is Badger”, where we learnt about how we are all different and unique. I enjoy dance outside of school so it has shown me that I am different and unique to my friends. ​ Darcy Year 5 – We have been looking at a book called the “The Girls” it is about friendships and we learnt what keeps a friendship going and that some friendships can grow apart over time. ​ Maggie Year 3 – I have enjoyed reading the book “Were all wonders” it was about using your voice and standing up for yourself rather than being a bystander”. ​ Juno Year 1 – In PSHE, we read a good story about a man who lived in a flat it was called “Errol’s Garden”. He asked for help with making a garden for his friends. ​ Maua Reception – I have learnt about being kind and respectful to my friends. Respectful means listening to my teacher.
