Family - KS1

Family and Me - KS1 PSHE

A collection of PSHE resources that have been created to cover the ‘Relationships’ strand of the PSHE Association’s Programme of Study for KS1.

In particular, the resources in this bundle focus on different kinds of families and the positive aspects of family life.

The 3-lesson unit includes the following:

1. People who care for me (Year 1)
   This lesson discusses people in our lives who are important to us. We will look at those who take care of us in various ways including but not limited to parents, guardians, friends, siblings, extended family, teachers, and healthcare workers.

2. What is a family (Year 1)
   This lesson explores different kinds of families including single-parent, two parent, blended, and foster families. The lesson also highlights same-sex relationships in an age-appropriate context (some children have two mummies / two daddies.)

3. Family and me (Year 1)
   This lesson explores the positive aspects of family life including celebrations, holidays, and enjoying spending time together. We will also discuss ways of getting help if we are ever upset or worried about a family member or something that has happened at home.

Each lesson includes a variety of fun and creative activities, plus enough teaching materials to last at least an hour.

The lessons in this unit have been specifically created for use with students in Year 1, however, they are also suitable for use with students in Year 2.

The resources are also suitable for use in schools who have opted to follow the PSHE Association’s Thematic Model for KS1.
