RE and PSHE

       

RE

The teaching of RE at Cippenham Infant School is delivered in Key Stage 1, through weekly RE lessons in the individual classes and through Year group and whole school assemblies. In the Foundation Stage, RE is taught through Knowledge and Understanding of the World and Personal, Social and Emotional Development in the Foundation Stage Guidance.

The children learn about a range of topics during their time at our school using the Slough Agreed Syllabus and Stanley Thorne Infant RE teacher's Resource book. The topics include:

Myself  New Life   Caring for each other  
Seasons and Change    Special Books Buildings
Moral Stories   Special Times  Special Places
Artefacts  Special People   Giving and Receiving
Exploring Beliefs   There is an overlap between the two schemes. 

As part of each topic a wide variety of beliefs from different faiths are discussed and the children are encouraged to share their personal experiences with their peers.

PSHE

Personal, Social, Health Education and Citizenship is a very important aspect of the curriculum. It is vital to make the children aware of the elements of a healthy life and show them how to be a valued member of society.

                                          

At Cippenham Infant School we aim to teach the children the following:

bullet

to stay as healthy as possible

bullet

to keep themselves and others safe

bullet

to have worthwhile and fulfilling relationships

bullet

to respect the differences between people

bullet

to develop independence and responsibility

bullet

to play an active role as members of a democratic society

bullet

to make the most of their own and others abilities.

Citizenship is taught through the non-statutory guidelines from QCA and the SEAL pack in Years 1 and 2, while in the Foundation Stage it is covered in the Foundation Stage Guidance under the area of learning of Personal, Social and Emotional development.
