SSEHV stands for Sathya Sai Education through Human Values, a PSED teaching method in many schools. Based on core human values of Love, Peace, Truth, Non Violence and Right Conduct.
The SSEHV lesson brings on various elements - a quotation to talk about, a warm-up game, a silent sitting/meditation, a story and discussion/questions, a song, and then a game or activity.
This lesson plan has been put together to focus on non-violence, and basic respect of similarities and differences, and what we can learn from the peace loving plant eating dinosaurs.
Front cover for a child's learning journey. Space for child's photo and name. Based on an idea provided by my LA (sorry unsure who had initially drawn this up)
Worksheet for story sequencing; Independent/ Guided writing frames, including key word cards for ordering and scribing; Labelling characters - using phonic knowledge to write simple words (I used as a homework activity)
An image of children holding hands around the world. Could be used as a starting point for similarities and differences; cultural, or new year discussions
Writing frames differentiated on ability. Children to draw a picture to reflect the beginning, middle and end of the story, and either write a sentence, caption or beginning/middle/end or trace over words.
Pictures to be used for paired discussion. Children to study the picture carefully, and talk about it: What is the picture about? Who are the characters? What do you like about the picture? Imagine you are in the picture, who would you be? Where would you be? What are you doing? Designed to be used with R-time lesson Year 1 lesson 1.15. Also useful for SEAL lessons and other times where images of multicultural families and people are needed.
A sheet designed for the child to draw an image of one of the farm animals in the story. To sound out and write the sound that that animal makes in the story.

A nice story/play to do as part of Chinese New Year.
