Intent

Through Jigsaw and our wider PSHE curriculum children:

• Learn how to become healthy, independent and responsible members of a society
• Develop an understanding of how they are growing personally and socially, and tackle many of the moral, social and cultural issues that are part of growing up.
• Learn about rights and responsibilities and appreciate what it means to be a member of a diverse society.
• Develop their sense of self-worth by playing a positive role in contributing to school life and the wider community.
•  To have a good understanding of how to stay safe, healthy and develop good relationships.
•  To have a strong self-awareness, interlinked with compassion of others.
• To understand the British values, and the impact that they have on ourselves and the wider community.

Implementation

Jigsaw is a whole-school approach that provides a detailed and comprehensive scheme of learning. It contains well-structured, progressive lesson plans and all teaching resources. Jigsaw covers all areas of PSHE for the primary phase including statutory Relationships and Health Education.

At the beginning of each academic year classes agree on a charter that is their established rules for Jigsaw lessons to ensure children feel secure in the knowledge that they can share their feelings openly.

Term Puzzle (Unit) Content

 Autumn 1: Being Me in My World Includes understanding my own identity and how I fit well in the class, school and global community. Jigsaw Charter established.

Autumn 2: Celebrating Difference Includes anti-bullying (cyber and homophobic bullying included) and understanding.

 Spring 1: Dreams and Goals Includes goal-setting, aspirations, who do I want to become and what would I like to do for work and to contribute to society

 Summer 1: Relationships Includes understanding friendship, family and other relationships, conflict resolution and communication skills, bereavement and loss.

Each lesson is divided into parts:

Connect us- team building games

Calm me- a time to practise mindfulness enhancing reflection and spiritual development

Open my mind- developing optimal concentration helping children to filter out unnecessary distractions and focus on key learning.

Tell me or show me- introduces key information and new learning.

Let me learn- children manipulate and apply learning to tasks to consolidate understanding.

Help me reflect- children have time to articulate their understanding. Children can process and evaluate their learning. Children also have the chance to write their own personal next steps.

Class teachers adapt Jigsaw planning to suit the needs of their current class. Where extra consolidation of vital knowledge such as internet safety teachers will plan additional sessions to ensure children have a full understanding of how to stay safe. This may happen at any point it is required throughout the year as well as Safer Internet day.
