#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

This scheme focuses on building strong communities and maintaining healthy relationships with them. Your class will first identify the uniqueness and celebrate the diversity of their own local communities. The following lessons focus on how children can contribute to their communities as active citizens and on the role of community groups as well as local and national government. Children will come to understand the conventions for respectful communication and will develop strategies to help them work together to make decisions and resolve conflicts as well as to recognise and challenge discrimination through the use of carefully designed scenarios.

Each of these five ready-to-teach Year 3 PSHE lessons includes an easy-to-follow plan, engaging and informative slides, and a variety of resources.

 
#Lesson1Celebratingmycommunity

In this first lesson, children explore the people, places, cultures and traditions that make their community special.

To apply their understanding, children are asked to get creative by designing a mural wall for their community which celebrates its diversity. Alternatively, why not reach out and invite community representatives into your classroom to discuss what they think about the benefits of living in your diverse community?

This KS2 Community lesson pack includes an easy-to-follow plan, a set of informative slides for the teaching input, and a variety of printable resources for the children's independent activities.

Then, children can apply their understanding by making a decision about how to spend money to improve their local park, in a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ style! Alternatively, children can review and reflect on their own conflict resolution skills and set targets for improvement.
