This is a particularly wide ranging subject which focusses on teaching key facts and then examining those to form meaning in our everyday life. Within the subject we will cover anti-bullying, healthy food, personal safety, hygiene, sex and relationships, families and friendships, death and the afterlife, special talents, the elderly, tolerance, kindness and generosity – to name just a few!
The most important aspect is to encourage children to make their own informed and personal choices about the wider world, their communities as well as themselves as individuals. They will learn to evaluate and justify their choices, to be proud of them whilst respecting others who may not share their opinions and to keep an open mind with kindness and generosity.
