Jigsaw PSHE 

At Swing Gate Infant and Nursery one of our key priorities is to teach our children about how to cope with and manage their emotions, keep safe and respect and celebrate differences. PSHE Education is a planned programme of learning through which children develop the qualities and attributes needed to thrive. We incorporate PSHE (personal, social and health education) as well as SMSC (spiritual, moral, social and cultural development) across our curriculum. We use the Jigsaw approach in our school. 

Jigsaw PSHE brings together Personal, Social, Health and Economic education, emotional literacy, social skills, mindfulness and spiritual development in weekly lessons which are taught from Nursery through to Year Two.

All year groups work on the same theme (puzzle) at the same time adapted to the children's appropriate level of understanding. There are six sequential puzzles (half-term units of work).

1. BM(Being Me in My World) 'Who am I and how do I fit?'
2. CD(Celebrating Difference) Respect for similarity and difference. Anti-bullying and being unique
3. DG(Dreams and Goals) Aspirations, how to achieve goals and understanding the emotions that go with this
4. HM(Healthy Me) Being and keeping safe and healthy
5. RL(Relationships) Building positive, healthy relationships
6. CM(Changing Me) Coping positively with change
