PSHE at Livingstone
PSHE is taught once a week and we follow these three strands in line with the HEP (Health Education Partnership) framework:
- In the 'Relationships' strand, children in Year 1 will learn about how to create relationships with their peers and by the time children reach Year 6 they will begin learning about discrimination, stereotypes and how to deal with the peer pressure.
- In the 'Living in the Wider World' strand, children will learn about topics such as how to express an opinion as well as which people they can go to with their worries. By the time children reach Year 6, they will start to aquire skills that will allow them to debate topical issues and problems with their peers.
- In the 'Health and Wellbeing' strand, children will learn how to keep their body clean, safe and healthy. By the time chdilren reach Year 6, they will start to learn about sex education and how to deal with the risks associated with physical contact.
Curriculum Overview
School Council
Each year our School council enjoy running charity events to help the local and global communities.The children meet at the beginning of the school year and decide which charities they would like to support. They ask their class mates for ideas of fundraising activities that they could do.
The children have organised a bake sale to raise money for the RSPCA, they have organised a whole school planting day to support the wildlife trust and they have organised a reverse advert. During the reverse advent the whole school got involved by bringing in a dry or canned good that was then donated to the local homeless shelter. They have also organised a fundraising cinema night for the charity, 'Spread your Wings'.
The School council is made up of two members of each class voted for by their classmates on our polling day. They play an important role in school life. They represent the views of the pupils in weekly meetings and put their ideas for change forward to the head teacher.
This year our chair of governors presented the children with their official school council badges.
