Intent:
At Grampound Road we have taken on a whole school approach for PSHE called Jigsaw throughout years R -6.
Jigsaw aims to help children know and value who they are and how they relate to other people. It teaches children to become aware of their thoughts and feelings throughout the programme, relating this to the PSHE subject matter being studied.
Jigsaw consists of six puzzles (half-term units of work) containing six pieces (lessons). Each Piece has two learning intentions. One is based on specific PSHE learning, and the other is based on emotional literacy and social skills. This means that Jigsaw is relevant to children living in today’s world as it helps them understand and be equipped to cope with modern issues such as body image, bullying, and internet safety. Below are the topics that will be covered each half term.
Autumn 1: Being Me in My World
Autumn 2: Celebrating Difference
Spring 1: Dreams and Goals
Spring 2: Healthy Me
Summer 1: Relationships
Summer 2: Changing Me
Implement:
In EYFS children will:
-
see themselves as a valuable individual.
- build constructive and respectful relationships.
- express their feelings and consider the feelings of others.
- show resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge.
- identify and moderate their own feelings socially and emotionally.
- think about the perspectives of others.
- manage their own needs.
Impact:
Jigsaw raises self-awareness, group awareness, collaboration skills, teamwork experience, respectfulness, etc., preparing children for the wider world and their position in it.
