Sciences humaines et apprentissage extérieur Geography Vision To develop pupils’ geographical skills, knowledge and enquiry and for pupils' to understand the similarities and differences between localities, both locally and in the wider world, and the affect this has on the humans that live there. Ici, à l'école primaire de South Hill, nous aimons faire un voyage dans le passé ou explorer le monde qui nous entoure. Voici quelques-unes des choses passionnantes auxquelles nous avons participé: 1/7 Our Curriculum We have tailored our Geography curriculum, in some areas, to reflect our locality and local community so that our pupils have a real sense of the geography of our town, Hemel Hempstead. For example: In EYFS, we focus on the building blocks to our Geography by beginning to study the natural world around us, including our local area In Year 1, we compare our town to a local village and study the similarities and differences In Year 2, we compare our town to a coastal town and study the similarities and differences In Year 3, we compare our town (which was traditionally a waterway) to Venice In Year 4, we study Hemel Hempstead through local environmental issues and think about the impact we can have In Year 5, we focus on fieldwork to collect information and map the land use of our town In Year 6, we continue our fieldwork and local area study by looking at Ordnance survey maps Long Term Plan Subject Overview Examples of knowledge organisers EYFS Year 4 Year 2 Year 6 Trips, hooks and theme days Our Geography curriculum is enriched by a number of school trips, theme days and assemblies and these provide excellent opportunities to bring our geographical learning to life. Examples are: EYFS: Local walk, including an introduction to maps Year 2: Local walk to think about what we like and dislike about our town and how we could improve it Year 3: Visit from ‘One Day Creative’ to study Volcanoes Year 4: Local walk to think about local environmental issues and how we can impact these Year 5: Local walk to study our local river, ‘The River Gade’ Year 6: Local walk to use Ordnance survey maps and to collect data and information about our town 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 represent and learn more about their chosen country and can wear clothes from their celebrated country or colours of the flag. Puplis learn about the geography of their chosen country and where to locate the country on a map, what continent the country is part of and what countries are nearby, we might learn about famous buildings and landmarks. Pupil Voice I like geography because we look at maps and we have used the globe to find where we live. It was fun - Ciel Year 1 I liked the walk around our local area to look at where we live - Helena Year 1 I like geography because we learn about the different countries around the world, we learnt about Barbados - Enal Year 2 I like learning about where I live and how I can keep looking after my local area. I enjoyed comparing Hemel Hempstead to a village near to where I live - Freddie Year 5

KS2 Carol Service at St Johns Church Each year KS2 visit St John's Church for our carol service.it is a lovely occasion which gets us in the festive mood with our choir singing beautifully and hearing some soloists too. Parents and carers are invited and fill the church which makes this event one of the most popular in the school calendar. 'T he singing and the readings were lovely; the children all showed the school at its best. The atmosphere was truly festive'. Chair of Governors Some Year 3 pupils said: I liked singing in the church. It made me feel happy. I felt excited...the lights on the trees were lovely. I liked it when Jacob sang the solo. I liked Year 5 Silver Birch Jingle Bells song. I felt musical and excited. I enjoyed singing with choir.

Remembrance Day at South Hill School Each year at South Hill School, we commemorate Remembrance day. We gather outside as a whole school community and Year 6 share poems inspired by the poem, 'In Flanders Field,' by John McCrae. Our South Hill School Choir sing a song dedicated to those who have fallen. We have a whole school homework project such as 'Jar decorating.' A pupil plays, 'The Last post' and leads us into a two minute silence. The eldest and youngest members of the school then join the Headteacher in placing poppy wreaths under our South Hill Flagpole. We then sing the National Anthem. It is a very special moment in memory of those who have lost their lives in war across the world.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Creative arts are really important to us here at South Hill, and this term saw Year 3 and 4 take to the stage in their amazing production of ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’. 120 pupils took part in the production, with children from Year 4 auditioning for and taking on the principle roles. The show was performed to the whole school, as well as a matinee and packed out evening performance to parents, carers and family members. One of our parents who attended the show said: I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing the school play was! The children were fantastic, and it was honestly the best thing I've ever come to see. The teachers have clearly worked extremely hard putting this together as was evidenced by the performance last night and I am sure by all of the other performances. Well done to the teachers and to the children, it was such a pleasure to watch! Year 4 parent We are incredibly proud of the outstanding efforts of all of our children; the show was incredible and really highlighted our pupil’s talents in dance, drama and singing. We can’t wait for the next show, by Year 6, in the Summer term!

PSHE Éducation personnelle, sociale et sanitaire 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. À l'école primaire de South Hill, nous sommes fiers de veiller au bien-être de nos élèves et de les aider à devenir des citoyens positifs, équilibrés et actifs du futur. Nous avons un programme PSHE sur mesure qui est conçu et adapté aux besoins de nos élèves / communauté scolaire. Cela se concentre sur: apprendre aux enfants à devenir des citoyens prospères promouvoir le bien-être promouvoir les `` valeurs britanniques '' renforcer tous les éléments de notre philosophie scolaire «The South Hill Way». Cette année, nous avons produit des programmes de travail pour aider les élèves à retourner à l'école après le confinement et pour nous assurer qu'ils ont eu l'occasion de réfléchir et de traiter leurs émotions de la pandémie et de reconstruire des amitiés et des relations lorsque nous sortons du confinement. Nous suivons le `` Christopher Winter Project '' pour notre disposition sur les relations, la drogue et l'éducation sexuelle '(qui est incluse dans notre offre plus large de PSHE) et nous avons produit une gamme d'`` organisateurs de connaissances' 'pour nous assurer que les parents savent ce que leurs enfants apprendront dans «RSE» dans chaque groupe d'année. RSE, à South Hill, comprend les éléments suivants: Éducation relationnelle (RSE) - elle se concentre principalement sur l'enseignement des éléments fondamentaux des relations positives pour s'assurer que les élèves savent à quoi ressemble une relation saine; là où ils sont valorisés et où l'égalité existe et pour garantir également que toutes les familles et tous les individus sont «représentés» et «vus». Éducation à la santé - elle vise à comprendre comment garder notre corps en bonne santé et ce que signifie avoir un mode de vie sain pour s'assurer que les enfants peuvent devenir des adultes en bonne santé et faire de bons choix plus tard dans la vie. Éducation sur les drogues - cela enseigne aux enfants les faits sur les substances nocives légales et illégales et les risques associés, y compris le tabagisme, la consommation d'alcool et la consommation de drogues. Éducation sexuelle - ceci est enseigné à nos enfants les plus âgés en 6e année et enseignera la conception et l'acte physique du sexe. Autres matières - d'autres éléments de notre programme PSHE seront enseignés à travers des matières telles que: la science (corps humain et reproduction); Informatique (sécurité Internet) et PE (importance de maintenir en bonne santé), ainsi que l' enseignement à l' aide des opportunités tout au long de l'école renforcent les concepts clés. 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 Organisateurs de connaissances EYFS Année 6 Année 2 Year 4 Politique PSHE Subject Overview Progression PSHE Présentation du sujet PSHE No Outsiders Long Term Plan EYFS PSHE Overview Picture News Enrichment Page PSHE Friendship South Hill and the Wider Community 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.

La science À l'école South Hill, nous comprenons que les enfants sont naturellement curieux et aiment explorer, enquêter et poser des questions. Ceci est essentiel à l'apprentissage des sciences et permet aux enfants d'acquérir une compréhension plus profonde du monde dans lequel nous vivons. Nous visons à fournir une éducation scientifique de qualité qui fournit les bases de la compréhension du monde et crée des apprenants curieux et enthousiastes. Nous encourageons l'enseignement de la science à travers des tâches pratiques et, le cas échéant, l'utilisation de nos vastes terrains d'école, la localité de notre ville ou The Box Moor Trust. Grâce à la science dans notre école, nous visons à faire en sorte que tous les enfants: Développer des connaissances et une compréhension scientifiques ainsi que des compétences d'apprentissage pratiques amusantes Développer la compréhension des différents types d'enquête scientifique qui les aideront à répondre à des questions scientifiques sur le monde qui les entoure Liez l'apprentissage à la vie réelle et explorez grâce à l'apprentissage en plein air Accédez à un voyage scientifique dans tous les groupes de l'année Lier l'apprentissage des sciences à toutes les autres matières afin d'approfondir la compréhension Le programme d'études primaire en sciences est enseigné dans toute l'école. Travailler les connaissances scientifiques et scientifiques Travailler scientifiquement (ou compétences d'investigation) se concentre sur une compréhension de l'investigation pratique et les compétences nécessaires pour le faire. Ces compétences comprennent l'observation, la recherche, la classification, la pose et la réponse à des questions, l'exploration de données et le travail en équipe grâce à un apprentissage pratique. La connaissance scientifique est la compréhension des faits et phénomènes scientifiques et la réponse aux questions sur leur apprentissage scientifique. EYFS Les élèves explorent la science via l'espace d'apprentissage appelé «Comprendre le monde». Ils assistent également à une session en plein air appelée «Welly Wednesday». Science clé de l'étape 1 L’objectif de l’enseignement des sciences à l’étape clé 1 est de permettre aux enfants d’expérimenter et d’observer les phénomènes; regarder de plus près le monde qui les entoure. Science clé de l'étape 2 L'objectif de l'enseignement des sciences au niveau clé inférieur 2 est de permettre aux enfants d'élargir leur vision scientifique du monde qui les entoure. L'objectif de l'enseignement des sciences au stade clé supérieur 2 est de permettre aux enfants de développer une compréhension plus profonde d'un large éventail d'idées scientifiques. Liens locaux scientifiques Nous encourageons et célébrons fortement l'apprentissage des sciences dans notre école. Nous travaillons en collaboration avec The Box Moor Trust, un site d'allotissement local, le cimetière Heath Lane, l'école Lockers Park, l'école Hemel Hempstead et nos propres terrains pour garantir que l'apprentissage des sciences est proactif et significatif. Examples of Knowledge Organisers EYFS Year 1 Year 3 Year 5 Long Term Plan Subject Overview Semaine scientifique britannique Chaque année, nous célébrons la British Science Week en organisant une journée de la science au cours de laquelle les élèves ont une journée d'apprentissage scientifique amusant en menant des expériences pratiques et des enquêtes. 1/4 Parc des casiers En 6e année, profitez d'un après-midi scientifique et technologique au Lockers Park.
