Humanidades y aprendizaje externo Geography Vision To develop pupils’ geographical skills, knowledge and enquiry and for pupils' to understand the similarities and differences between localities, both locally and in the wider world, and the affect this has on the humans that live there. Aquí en South Hill Primary School, nos encanta hacer un viaje al pasado o explorar el mundo que nos rodea. Estas son algunas de las cosas interesantes que hemos estado haciendo: 1/7 Our Curriculum We have tailored our Geography curriculum, in some areas, to reflect our locality and local community so that our pupils have a real sense of the geography of our town, Hemel Hempstead. For example: In EYFS, we focus on the building blocks to our Geography by beginning to study the natural world around us, including our local area In Year 1, we compare our town to a local village and study the similarities and differences In Year 2, we compare our town to a coastal town and study the similarities and differences In Year 3, we compare our town (which was traditionally a waterway) to Venice In Year 4, we study Hemel Hempstead through local environmental issues and think about the impact we can have In Year 5, we focus on fieldwork to collect information and map the land use of our town In Year 6, we continue our fieldwork and local area study by looking at Ordnance survey maps Long Term Plan Subject Overview Examples of knowledge organisers EYFS Year 4 Year 2 Year 6 Trips, hooks and theme days Our Geography curriculum is enriched by a number of school trips, theme days and assemblies and these provide excellent opportunities to bring our geographical learning to life.

Calendario DSSN Otoño 2020 School Games Long Term Plan Subject Overview Active Lives Survey Community clubs We are extremely lucky to be close to so many great sporting clubs, who are willing and able to support our pupils and teachers. We have benefited from the coaching skills of Berkhamsted Hockey club, Leverstock Green tennis club, Bytomic Taekwondo, Christina Marks School of Performing Arts and Hertfordshire Cricket. The children have also been inspired by a visit from Victoria Ohuruogu - an English track athlete who won silver at the Commonwealth Games last year! We also book workshops for the children that support their physical and mental wellbeing. Challenge Sport Education have provided us with these a number of times and have been greatly enjoyed by the children. Running track Our extensive school grounds, includes a running track which is used by every year group each day. The children are encouraged to run or walk around the 300-metre long track in their break times, but also as healthy active breaks during lesson time. Once a half term, our sports coach sets an extra challenge, where children compete against other classes to run or walk as many laps as possible in a week. We understand that active children are often happy children so Friday is Daily Mile Friday for family to join in too! The side gate opens at 8:20am each Friday for families to run with their children before school. Orienteering course Our grounds has an orienteering course, which enables us to make some of our other lessons in the curriculum more active. Children can regularly be seen running happily from zone to zone to solve historical, geographical, mathematical and English facts. Clubs We offer a range of clubs at our school.

Picture News At South Hill School, we utilise the Picture News of our PSHE lessons in Spring 1 and 2. In our first assembly of the week on a Monday morning, the pupils are introduced to the topic they will be following in 'Picture News' for their PSHE lessons. This week, we discovered that in 2025, pupils will be allowed to study British sign language as a GCSE. We thought about this key question; 'Should we learn sign language at school?' Sign Language in School Picture News for Parents So how can Picture News support our pupil’s understanding of PSHE? Picture News is a fantastic resource to help our school teach pupils about current affairs and what’s happening in the world by using real life learning. This facilitates them to develop respect for others whilst incorporating the technique of reflection. Furthermore, it allows pupils to learn about themselves and what interests them. This can then sparks their own imaginations, passions and what they want to change or act upon by voicing opinions and feelings about the topic. There are a number of related resources to facilitate this process such as; useful vocabulary, British Values, Protective Characteristics and on some occasions (if topic specific) the UN Convention of the Rights of the Pupils (UNCRC, 1989).

Forest School ‘Forest School’ is a Scandinavian concept where the learning is outdoor based. Many forest school activities evolve from the children’s interests, ideas, and the natural resources found in our grounds. The outdoor sessions promote confidence, self-esteem and independence. At South Hill, we are passionate about developing the whole child and in using our amazing grounds to enhance learning. Benefits of forest school sessions include increased confidence, improved behaviour, improved concentration, independence, and development of social, emotional and physical skills. Forest school is all about exploring and experiencing the natural world through practical activities. The children go outside in all weathers, exploring and learning from the seasons and environment changes. Natural resources stimulate creative thinking, problem solving and skill development, all in the guise of play. The children also learn to care for the environment and appreciate the seasonal changes, developing an empathy for wildlife. Most importantly, alongside the learning, the children have fun! We are delighted to be able to offer every child at South Hill the chance to participate in Forest School during the academic year. EYFS participate all year round, Years 5 and 6 Autumn term, Years 1 and 2 Spring term and Years 3 and 4 Summer term!

Art Art Vision To progress pupils' skills and creativity in drawing, painting, collage, 3D art, textiles, printing, use of IT, sketchbooks and knowledge and for them to understand that this is the process of making art. Curriculum At South Hill, we want to inspire all of our pupils to experiment with art, to see it as an expression of self/mood and to take ownership of their work. Through the use of sketch books, pupils are encouraged to evaluate, experiment and work creatively to ensure they have a freedom of expression in the subject. In EYFS, pupils are introduced to the building the blocks of art through the key learning area ‘Expressive arts and Design’. In Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, pupil’s skills and knowl edge are developed through our golden threads, which progress throughout the school and allow us to build on previous knowledge and to make links between what we have already learnt and what we are learning now and in the future: We study a wide variety of a rtists and learn many artistic techniques. For example: In EYFS, pupils experiment with collage based on the work of Matisse In Year 1, pupils study close ups of flowers inspired by Georgia O’Keefe In Year 2, pupils print with leaves in the style of Andy Warhol In Year 3, pupils draw with pencil and charcoal in the style of Quentin Blake In Year 4, pupils research and recreate the work of Watercolour artist Adrienne Pavelka In Year 5, pupils study the history of sculpting to create an Egyptian decorated scarab beetle In Year 6, pupils learn to create a World War 2 landscape print in the style of Paul Nash . Arts Mark Gold and local links South Hill have been awarded Gold in the ‘Arts Mark’ to reflect ‘…children's understanding of arts and artists from a wider variety of different cultural heritages, so that cultural diversity is being promoted through your arts curriculum…’. We also have a strong link with our local secondary school and a local private school, who run workshops with Upper Key Stage 2 pupils every year to extend pupil’s skill development. Whole School Art Gallery We run an annual art week, where as a school we work with one topic or theme (for example ‘Patterns in Nature’). We explore different skills and styles and produce a final piece of art. This art work is then displayed in a whole school art gallery to which parents are invited to view with their children. Parents can purchase their children’s work, treating the event as a true art gallery. Art competitions We encourage children from EYFS up to Year 6 to take part in art competitions, run and judged both in house and by external companies. For example, we have entered the ‘Dacorum Young Artist’ competition and the ‘CPRE Art’ competition. As a school, we celebrate all who enter, by displaying all entries in assembly and awarding certificates and house points.

The Big Little Nativity Our Early Years production was called 'The Big Little Nativity'. The children took on speaking, acting and singing roles. The traditional nativity story was told through the performance. All the early years children learnt eight songs, complete with actions. The children were fantastic at performing and they were all very excited to have the opportunity to perform on stage to their families and the wider school. We are very proud of them all.

PSHE Educación personal, social y sanitaria PSHE Vision. To support our pupils to be responsible, respectful, resilient and reflective learners, who are able to keep themselves safe, healthy and prepared for secondary school and life beyond. En South Hill Primary School, nos enorgullecemos de cuidar el bienestar de nuestros alumnos y ayudarlos a convertirse en ciudadanos del futuro positivos, completos y activos. Tenemos un programa de PSHE a medida que está diseñado y adaptado a las necesidades de nuestros alumnos / comunidad escolar. Esto se centra en: enseñar a los niños cómo ser ciudadanos exitosos promover el bienestar promover los 'valores británicos' reforzando todos los elementos de nuestra ética escolar 'The South Hill Way'. Este año, hemos elaborado esquemas de trabajo para ayudar a los alumnos en la transición de regreso a la escuela después del encierro y para asegurarnos de que hayan tenido la oportunidad de pensar detenidamente y procesar sus emociones de la pandemia y reconstruir amistades y relaciones a medida que salimos del encierro. Seguimos el 'Proyecto Christopher Winter' para nuestra disposición sobre relaciones, drogas y educación sexual '(que se incluye en nuestra disposición PSHE más amplia) y hemos producido una gama de' Organizadores del conocimiento 'para asegurar que los padres sepan qué se les enseñará a sus hijos en 'RSE' en cada grupo de año. RSE, en South Hill, incluye los siguientes elementos: Educación sobre las relaciones (RSE) : se centra principalmente en enseñar los componentes básicos de las relaciones positivas para garantizar que los alumnos sepan cómo es una relación sana; donde sean valorados y donde exista igualdad y también para asegurar que todas las familias e individuos estén "representados" y "vistos". Educación para la salud : se centra en comprender cómo mantener nuestros cuerpos sanos y lo que significa tener un estilo de vida saludable para garantizar que los niños puedan ser adultos sanos y tomar buenas decisiones en el futuro. Educación sobre las drogas : enseña a los niños los hechos sobre las sustancias nocivas legales e ilegales y los riesgos asociados, incluido el tabaquismo, el consumo de alcohol y las drogas. Educación sexual : esto se enseña a nuestros hijos mayores en Year 6 y enseñará la concepción y el acto sexual físico. Otras asignaturas: otros elementos de nuestro programa PSHE se enseñarán a través de asignaturas como: Ciencias (cuerpo humano y reproducción); Computar (seguridad en Internet) y PE (importancia de mantener sano), así como la enseñanza utilizando las oportunidades en toda la escuela refuerzan los conceptos clave. Autumn Term No Outsider This scheme promotes: British Values Protected characteristics Personal development Spring term (and used in assemblies all year round) Picture News This scheme promotes: British Values Protected characteristics Personal development Summer Term The Christopher Winter Project This scheme promotes: Relationship education Health education Drugs education Sex education Online safety ‘No Outsiders’ We follow the ‘No Outsiders’ project which is a book based PSHE scheme created by Andrew Moffat MBE, who was nominated for the Global Teacher Prize in 2018-19. Each week, the children read a book with their class teacher, which promotes British values and the following three core values: Respect for diversity through education in schools; Commitment to community cohesion through understanding and acceptance of difference; Promotion of dialogue to counter fear and hate in society. We believe that it is vital that our pupils can discuss inappropriate and discriminative language and understand how to address boundaries in order to prepare them for a future in modern Britain. We strive to ensure that our pupils are surrounded by a consistent message: · There are no outsiders here; · Everyone is different; · We like being different; · We are all equal in our difference; · I can get along with you even if we are different; · We live in the U.K., our British values support this and the law says this too. Picture News Picture news is a current affairs news scheme, which gives children opportunities to develop learning further through news stories that inspire them. The weekly theme (which is delivered in every Monday assembly) exposes pupils to a range of topics including political, religious, cultural, environmental, social, moral and spiritual issues. Pupils then have the opportunity to discuss these ‘big issues’ with their class teacher. In the Spring term, we use these as a basis for our PSHE lessons so that they can be explored more in depth class. Through this scheme, children have opportunities to: Discover talents and interests through a broad coverage Develop speaking and listening skills Develop the confidence to speak out Develop resilience Understand British Values and Protected Characteristics Develop links between personal, school and community values. Demonstrate respect and tolerance Organizadores del conocimiento EYFS Año 6 Año 2 Year 4 Política de PSHE Subject Overview Progresión de PSHE Descripción general del tema PSHE No Outsiders Long Term Plan EYFS PSHE Overview Picture News Enrichment Page PSHE Friendship South Hill and the Wider Community The Christopher Winter Project We follow the 'Christopher Winter Project' for our Relationships, Drug and Sex Education' provision and we have produced a range of 'Knowledge Organisers' to ensure parents know what their children will be taught in 'RSE' in each year group. RSE, at South Hill, includes the following elements (which are outlined in our Topic progression and Overview documents): Relationship Education (RSE) - this primarily focuses on teaching the fundamental building blocks of positive relationships to ensure pupils know what a healthy relationship looks like; where they are valued and where equality exists and to also ensure all families and individuals are 'represented' and 'seen'. Health Education - this focuses on understanding how to keep our bodies healthy and what it means to have a healthy lifestyle to ensure children can be healthy adults and make good choices now and in the future. Drugs Education - this teaches children the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances and the associated risks, including smoking, alcohol use and drug-taking.

Other Subjects Other elements of our PSHE programme are taught through subjects such as: Science (human body and reproduction); Computing (internet safety) and PE (importance of keeping healthy) as well as teaching using opportunities throughout the school day to reinforce key concepts. Pupil Voice Victoria Year 6 – In PSHE we have been reading the book “The only way is Badger”, where we learnt about how we are all different and unique. I enjoy dance outside of school so it has shown me that I am different and unique to my friends.

Juno Year 1 – In PSHE, we read a good story about a man who lived in a flat it was called “Errol’s Garden”. He asked for help with making a garden for his friends. Maua Reception – I have learnt about being kind and respectful to my friends. Respectful means listening to my teacher.
