Ne kemi një program të porositur PSHE i cili është hartuar dhe përshtatur për nevojat e nxënësve / komunitetit tonë shkollor. Kjo fokusohet në: duke i mësuar fëmijët se si të jenë qytetarë të suksesshëm promovimin e mirëqenies promovimi i 'Vlerave Britanike' duke përforcuar të gjithë elementët e shkollës sonë shkollore 'South Hill Way'. Këtë vit, ne kemi prodhuar skema pune për të ndihmuar nxënësit të kthehen në shkollë nga bllokimi dhe për të siguruar që ata të kenë pasur një mundësi për të menduar dhe përpunuar emocionet e tyre nga pandemia dhe për të rindërtuar miqësitë dhe marrëdhëniet ndërsa dalim nga bllokimi. Ne ndjekim projektin 'Christopher Winter Project' për Marrëdhëniet tona, Edukimin për Drogën dhe Seksin '(i cili përfshihet në dispozitën tonë më të gjerë PSHE) dhe ne kemi prodhuar një sërë' Organizatorë të Njohurive 'për të siguruar që prindërit të dinë se në çfarë do të mësohen fëmijët e tyre 'RSE' në çdo grup vit. RSE, në South Hill, përfshin elementët e mëposhtëm: Edukimi i marrëdhënieve (RSE) - kjo kryesisht përqendrohet në mësimin e blloqeve themelore të marrëdhënieve pozitive për të siguruar që nxënësit të dinë se si duket një marrëdhënie e shëndetshme; ku vlerësohen dhe ku ekziston barazia dhe gjithashtu për të siguruar që të gjitha familjet dhe individët të 'përfaqësohen' dhe 'shihen'. Edukimi Shëndetësor - kjo përqendrohet në të kuptuarit se si ta mbajmë trupin tonë të shëndetshëm dhe çfarë do të thotë të kesh një mënyrë jetese të shëndetshme për të siguruar që fëmijët mund të jenë të rritur të shëndetshëm dhe të bëjnë zgjedhje të mira më vonë gjatë jetës. Edukimi për Drogat - kjo u mëson fëmijëve faktet në lidhje me substancat e dëmshme legale dhe të paligjshme dhe rreziqet që lidhen me to, duke përfshirë pirjen e duhanit, përdorimin e alkoolit dhe marrjen e drogës.

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.

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.

Design and Technology Design and Technology Vision ​ To develop pupils' skills and technical knowledge in designing, making and evaluating through cooking and nutrition, textiles, materials and construction. We teach a broad and varied Design and Technology curriculum, at South Hill, which aims to develop skills and knowledge through the following key areas: Design: We want our pupils to generate ideas and to model and communicate these through talking and drawing. We want them to create templates and design products that are appealing, functional and purposeful. Make: We want pupils to select from a range of materials, tools and equipment and use these to perform practical tasks such as cutting, shaping, joining, sewing, kneading and finishing. Evaluate: We want pupils to be able to talk about existing products, as well as their finished product, to compare these against the design criteria and to consider the views of others to improve their work. Technical Knowledge: We want pupils to know and use subject specific vocabulary (such as levers, sliders, wheels, axels) and to deepen their knowledge of technical processes such as how structures can be made stronger/more stable. Golden Threads As part of our Design and Technology curriculum, we have carefully mapped out Golden Threads that weave in and out of our learning. These allow us to build on previous knowledge and skills and to ensure a progression of these year after year. Our Golden Threads for DT are: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our Curriculum In EYFS, through the Early Learning Goal ‘Expressive Arts and Design’, pupils are introduced to the building blocks of our Design and Technology curriculum. Through construction, pupils explore and build with a variety of materials such as Lego or wooden bricks, alongside developing their fine motor skills with scissors, paper and other media. In Key Stage 1, pupils develop an understanding of the design, making and evaluating process when creating their own products. Examples of topics covered in KS1 include: Designing a building for a town, making a pop up toy and making a fruit/vegetable monster. In Key Stage 2, pupils further embed the design, make and evaluate cycle when creating their own products. Examples of topics covered in KS1 include: building Anderson Shelters, making Torches, making a hydraulic bridge and cooking Viking bread. By the end of Year 6, we want pupils to be able to have developed the ability to design and make a range of products (in cooking and nutrition, textiles, materials and construction) and to be confident in their technical knowledge of these areas and to be able to evaluate their own work, as well of as that of others.

A Wriggly Nativity 2023 Our Early Years production for 2023 was called ‘A Wriggly Nativity’. The children took on speaking, acting and singing roles. The traditional nativity story was told through the performance. All the early years children learnt eight songs, complete with actions. The children were fantastic at performing and they were all very excited to have the opportunity to perform on stage to their families and the wider school. We are very proud of them all.

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
