Learning For Life at Mulbarton Primary

Learning for life is woven throughout our whole school curriculum and daily experiences.  
Our school ethos: 

We want everyone in our school to be happy, resilient and feel valued, showing respect for each other and the world, we live in.  We value diversity and individuality and strive to ensure everyone achieves their full potential in a nurturing atmosphere of support and encouragement. 
 
PSHE stands for Personal, Social, Health and Economic education. RSE  stands for Relationship Sex Education. At Mulbartonn, these lessons are taught under the subject title of Learning for Life. Some areas of the PSHE curriculum will be taught through other subject areas such as PE; Science; RE; Computing (Online-Safety); Assemblies; Whole school circle time; Creative week; focus days such as Anti-bullying week. 

Implementation 

At Mulbarton Primary School we follow the  Zones of Regulation and the Kapow PSHE/RSE scheme.

 

We teach Zones of Regulation lessons on a weekly basis. This programme helps children by teaching them to identify their emotions, understand what triggers them, and learn strategies to manage their feelings and behaviours.  It uses four colour-coded zones to represent different emotional states. This empowers children to develop self-regulation skills for better focus, problem-solving, and social interaction. In each classroom we have a calm corner. Here, we display an interactive Zones of Regulation display with the 4 different zones so that the children can easily show and talk about how they are feeling throughout the day.  

In addition to this, every day each class picks at random, a ‘Child of the Day’. This child will have special class privileges and receive compliments from the other children and staff. 

PSHE/RSE 

The Kapow Primary RSE & PSHE scheme covers the full breadth of learning pupils need to stay healthy, safe and prepared for life. This includes:

• Personal.
• Social.
• Health.
• Economic.
• Relationships.
• Citizenship.
• Sex education (optional).

Throughout the year we will cover sessions on 6 units in each year group at an appropriate level.

Correct vocabulary will be taught for body parts.  Whilst it may be appropriate to use nicknames for body parts at home, in school it is essential to learn and use the correct terminology.  This ensures universal understanding, clarity, respect and manners.   In KS2, some classes may be delivered in single sex groups. Classes will establish a set of agreed ground rules to be followed during RSE sessions.
