Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), including RSA
We are proud to be a part of the myHappymind Family! As a whole school programme grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. myHappymind also teaches children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!
Below is an overview of the yearly myHappymind modules:
Meet Your Brain:
Understanding how your brain works and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at our best. Growth mindset is a key part of this too.
Celebrate:
Understanding your unique Character Strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self-esteem.
Appreciate: Understanding why gratitude matters and how you can develop gratitude as a habit. Gratitude is key to well-being and resilience and we're all about making it a lifelong strategy!
Relate: Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We're focussed on the building blocks of good relationships and friendships.
Engage: Understanding how to set meaningful goals that matter and how to stay resilient in times of challenge. This module is all about building self-esteem and resilience too.
Additional PSHE Curriculum:
Personal Social Health Education, incorporating Relationships Education, is an important part of our curriculum.
We teach PSHE both discretely and through thematic units. Our thematic units come from the Dimensions Curriculum and the discrete units come from Dimensions’ 3D PSHE Programme.
Through our PSHE teaching, pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attributes needed in order to keep themselves healthy and safe whilst preparing them for life and work.
There are three underlying core themes taught throughout our PSHE curriculum, within which there is broad overlap and flexibility :
- Health and Wellbeing
- Relationships
- Living in the Wider World
Relationships Education: We focus on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships and relationships with other children and adults. Our PSHE curriculum teaches pupils, in an age-appropriate way, what a healthy relationship is, enabling them to form a clear understanding of the features of positive relationships that are likely to lead to fulfilment, happiness and security. Pupils learn what friendship is, what family means and who the people are who can support them.
