Personal, Social, Health Education (P.S.H.E)

Our PSHE curriculum at Grimes Dyke is designed to help pupils navigate change, contribute to society, and develop the confidence to stand up for their beliefs. We focus on building resilience, determination, understanding, and self-motivation, as well as equipping children with strategies to face everyday challenges. 
 
PSHE is integrated throughout the school day, from assemblies to class discussions, and is taught explicitly once a week. Our EYFS currciulum is based on '1Descision'. Our KS1/KS2 curriculum is based on 'You, Me, PSHE', Money Heroes (Finance), or 'Yasmin and Tom (RSE)', ensuring progression, while our 'MindMate' sessions emphasise mental health and wellbeing. 

Anti-bullying Week: 

Children across the school discussed bullying and how they can use their 'power for good'. This week started with an assembly on what bullying is and spent some time discussing the word respect and what this means. They described this using the dictionary definition of ‘having due regard for someone’s feelings, wishes or rights.’ Some powerful discussions and drama activities took place throughout the week.  The whole school created a display to remind them to use their powers for good.

Diversity Day:

During diversity Day we explored this year's theme, which was all about “embracing Change”. As a school, we explored 'The Rainbow Flamingo by Catherine Emmett' and spent time exploring the different colours of the LGBTQ+ flag to create a beautiful whole school display. Throughout the day, the children also took part in workshops run by Diversity Role Models. 

Every child read 'The Rainbow Flamingo' and then decorated a feather with a change they would like to make to improve the world.

Children's Mental Health Week: 

The children spent time talking about what mental health is and how we can take care of it. As a school, we used Disney's Inside Out films to help spark conversation and come up with our own emotional memory bubbles.
