In this five-lesson PSHE scheme, your KS1 class will learn all about keeping safe. The scheme is fully aligned with the PSHE Association objectives and includes a lesson on online safety.

In the first lesson, your Year 1 class will learn why rules are needed and how they keep us safe from harm. Then, children learn about hazards in and around the home including electrical safety. In the third lesson, children will look at how to minimise risks associated with everyday activities outside of the home such as visiting a beach or walking by a river. The following lesson is all about road safety and children will learn how to cross the road safely. Finally, your Year 1 class meet a boy called Sam and help him to make the correct choices to stay safe online.

Everything you need to teach these five engaging PSHE lessons is included! For each lesson there is a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities, a high-quality slideshow and all the printable resources required.

A Knowledge Organiser is available to support the learning in this scheme. It is included in the Complete Series download or can be purchased individually.

How rules keep us safe

In this PSHE KS1 lesson, children learn why rules are needed to make sure everyone is treated fairly and to keep people safe.

Beginning with their own classroom as a starting point, children then go on to identify other places where rules are needed. These include roads, beaches, swimming pools, building sites and railways. They explore what the consequences would be if rules did not exist in these places. They also explore why certain products and activities have age restrictions.

Everything you need to teach this PSHE KS1 lesson on rules is included in the pack. There is a detailed lesson plan with differentiated activities, an engaging slideshow and all the printable resources required.

Staying safe at home

In this PSHE KS1 lesson, your class go on a journey through a hazardous house full of everyday hazards and dangers such as overloaded sockets or open stairgates.

They identify the hazards and explore why they present a danger. After sorting activities into those that are safe and those that are unsafe, children produce a poster to advise others how to stay safe around the home. Alternatively, your class might use an electrical safety website to deepen their knowledge of electrical safety around the home.

Staying safe outside the home

In this PSHE KS1 lesson, children build on their knowledge of staying safe at home to keeping safe outside of the home.

They explore risks attached to real-life situations such as walking by a river and visiting a beach. Children then explore actions that could be taken to minimise these risks. The message of the lesson is that although many activities outside of the home involve elements of risk, as long as actions are taken to minimise these risks, these activities should be enjoyed and not avoided.
