PSHE

(personal development, social skills and health education for children and young people aged 3 years to 16 years)

we believe that PSHE is the foundation for learning and development in all children.

In Fordbridge we use Jigsaw.

What is Jigsaw?

Jigsaw is a complete set of lesson plans for schools, one for each week, covering personal development, social skills and health education for children and young people aged 3 years to 16 years.

Our aim is to equip children to understand who they are, to be healthy and happy and good, caring people.

There is a strong emphasis on emotional wellbeing and mental health.

In school as part of our PSHE scheme we will be discussing the importance of the PANTS rule with all children

please click on the image below to access the PANTS rule website and child friendly Pantosaurus video.

Important notices

After school clubs will finish at 4:15

P.E

In Year 4 the children's P.E will be swimming lessons.

This is an amazing opportunity for the children and it is amazing to see where they start from and what they achieve by the end of the year.

Swimming

Swimming will take place each Thursday morning. All children must attend school in full school uniform with an additional bag containing their swim wear. Please ensure to remember a clean towel and spares of any clothes you wish your child to change into.

Music 

In Year 4, all children have the opportunity to attend brass lessons and bring home their own brass instrument to practise. Please take care of these instruments and send them into school with your child each Wednesday for their music lesson.
