eeleo,
The progression of procedural knowledge through the Life Skills curriculum is nat an exhaustive list. Teachers will react to
their class and the needs of the pupils within the class alongside the Norfolk Scheme of Learning and the Heartwood
Curriculum. Life Skills also embraces the school’s hygge ethos and much of the declarative knowledge links with DT, cooking,
Forest School, gardening, and day to day school life.
Key stage 1
Children are learning and talking about themselves as individuals and as part of the school -and wider - communities,
building on their own experiences and on the early learning goals for personal, social and emotional development. They are
discussing and understanding the basic sills for Keeping themselves healthy and safe. They are learning the simple rules for
good behaviour and what is expected of them. They have opportunites to show they can take some responsibilty for
themselves and their environment: [ooking after school property, tidying away, walking around the school sensibly, etc. They
learn about their own and other people’s feelings and become aware of the views, needs and rights of other children and
older people. They are beginning to understand itis OK to disagree with each other. As members ofa class and school
community they learn social skills such as how to share, take turns, play, help others and resolve simple arguments, They
are being introduced more regularly to what to do when something is bullying and what to doin these situations. They begin
to take an active part in the life oftheir school and its neighbourhood. Children are learning about consent and what it
means to them: via story books, when touching is and isn’t OK. Tey are learning about families and relationships and how
they come in diferent forms. Online safety is key when working with ICT from this young age so the children are regularly
able to explain how we can stay safe online. Gender stereotypes are address in relevant content for this age group.
Celebrating differences is learntin this key stage through comparing different ways of celebrating events, traditions and lots
of time to falk about what makes us (ourselves and our families) special and unique
Other aspects of the RSHE curriculum are taught, where possible, through cross curricular studies enabling learning to be put
into context. Otherwise learning takes place in discrete lessons. Learning experiences could include such activities as circle
time, role play, taking part in elections for School Council or mock elections, fund-raising for charity, listening to visitors,
making cultural visits, taking part in local activities, taking part in focus days such as “Money Day” or focus weeks such as
Equality week or months such as Black History MonthYear

Lean celebrate differences.During key stage 2, pupils learn about themselves as growing and changing individuals with their own experiences and ideas,
and as members of their communities. They become mare mature, independent and self-confident. They learn about the wider
world and the interdependence of communities within it. They develop their sense of social justice and moral responsibility
and begin to understand that thetr own choices and behaviour can affect local, national or global isues and political and
social institutions. They learn how to take part more fully in school and community activities. As they begin to develop into
Yyoung adults, they face the changes of puberty and transfer to secondary school with support and encouragement from the
school. They learn how to make more confident and informed choices about their health and environment; to take more
responsibilty, individually and as a group, for their own learning; and to resist bullying. Te children discuss consent in
further detail in relation fo how we need to agree to things that happen. We encourage an understanding, respect and
tolerance for people who are different to use. This will include understanding different jab roles for men and women earlier in
Key Stage 2, through to sexual orientation later on in year 6.
