SUMMER 1 - LOCAL EXPLORERS

This term, we will become history detectives and explore the story of our local area. We will find out who lived here in the past, what their lives were like, and how our community has changed over time. Using real historical sources such as census records, we will investigate old lists of people who lived in our area, discovering their jobs, families, and homes. By piecing together clues from the census, maps, photographs, and stories, we will learn how ordinary people helped shape the place we live in today. Get ready to step back in time and uncover the secrets of our local history

Jigsaw PSHE - Relationships

In this topic, the children will discuss and consider the following: 

• How to build my self-esteem

• How online communities may be unsafe, uncomfortable, helpful or unhelpful to me

• Online games and how they may be unhelpful or unsafe 

• Screen time and how I can look after my health

• How to resist pressure to use technology in a way that may be risky or harmful towards others

There is a wonderful website below that is useful for your child and for you as a parent. It has games and information about feelings, health, illnesses and sections on body image, mental health and much more. There is also a section for you, the parent, to refer to for information on the school nurse and it shows local Solihull support services.
