Jigsaw - PSHE

A whole-school curriculum that builds social skills, grows emotional literacy, enables mental health and nurtures children’s positive relationships with themselves and others.

Integrates personal and social development work which gives the relevant context to build skills, attitudes, self-esteem, resilience and confidence, all of which are needed to be taught explicitly as well as nurtured implicitly.

A well-structured, progressive lesson-a-week process.

Jigsaw is designed as a whole school approach, with all year groups working on the same theme (puzzle) at the same time. This enables each puzzle to start with an introductory assembly, generating a whole school focus for adults and children alike.

The ‘puzzles’….

The six puzzles (themes/ units of work) There are six puzzles in jigsaw that are designed to progress in sequence from the start of each academic year:

• Term 1: Being Me in My World • Term 2: Celebrating Difference (including anti-bullying) • Term 3: Dreams and Goals • Term 4: Healthy Me • Term 5: Relationships • Term 6: Changing Me

Times Tables

• The children will be learning these in and out of order including the inverse.
