Let's Talk: PSHCE Curriculum

Description

Format: eBook

Let’s Talk is a PSHCE Curriculum designed to provide children from EYFS to Year 6 with a range of relevant issues they can discuss and debate. Three themes run throughout the curriculum, supporting children’s thinking about themselves as individuals, as members of a group with their peers and considering the impact of these issues on others.

How is it structured?
For years 1 to 6, there are twelve issues (units) per year group. 
For EYFS, there are eight issues per year. These are set out as EYFS1 (nursery) and EYFS2 (reception). In schools without a nursery, you can dip into both and decide which units best suit your children’s needs. 
 
What does each issue look like? 
Each issue (unit) follows a similar format. Each has a link to a text (to help schools’ budgets, we have chosen texts with internet links to the text being read). 
Each issue has a scenario that considers a situation linked to the central theme, which children will discuss. The scenario is child-friendly and helps children link the main issue to a realistic situation they may have experienced themselves. What might be new vocabulary is highlighted so staff can introduce them before reading the scenario.  

There is also a more generic dilemma, a simple statement that helps children contextualise the issue.

For each issue, there is a range of activities that do not put a great emphasis on children having to write. Sometimes, children are asked to create tables, lists, drawings or diagrams, but this can be done in pairs/groups or as a whole class.

Why ‘Let’s Talk’?
Schools need to provide children with opportunities to talk about issues relevant to them and their world, whether something they are going through alone, an issue they have with their friends or one that impacts others in the wider community. Let’s Talk gives teachers the resources they need to provide a safe environment for children to explore these real-life issues through the stories they explore and the carefully crafted scenarios and dilemmas balanced with realistic expectations within a school’s busy timetable. We hope you enjoy using Let’s Talk as much as we have enjoyed putting it together!
