The Gattons Infant School

Personal, Social, Health & Economic

PSHE is concerned with self and relationships with other people, as well as with the community in which we live.

In PSHE we aim to develop children's confidence and social skills, and a sense of respect for others.  We teach the children about their rights and responsibilities as a Rights Respecting School, as well as the rights and responsibilities they have in the wider world.

Health education addresses areas such as medicines and drugs education, growth, and the need for exercise, rest and a balanced diet.
 
The children learn about Citizenship through taking responsibility for tasks in class and in school and their involvement with our Class and School Councils. Each class elects a representative who meet with a teacher regularly and discuss a variety of topics that are of concern to the children. Recent subjects include recycling and waste, behaviour while eating lunch, and playtime games and toys.
To develop the children’s sense of economic awareness we encourage each class to take part in a mini-enterprise scheme. A small investment is made and the children act as entrepreneurs! Past schemes have included a plant sale, a café, and art sales.
