Me, You and the World

1st June 2025K Holtham

Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) and Relationship and Health Education (RHE) is embedded in school life and throughout the teaching and learning at Monkton Infants School.

It is our intent that pupils are provided with opportunities and experiences which reflect the increasing independence and social awareness of learners as they move through the school. During PSHE lessons, children learn skills to develop effective relationships, assume greater responsibility and keep themselves safe. Our curriculum is intended to equip pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future. Children develop the attributes required to live healthy, safe, productive, capable, responsible and balanced lives as individuals and as members of society.

After discussions with our children and School Council members, it became apparent that although the children were fully aware of the PSHE subject matter, the title of PSHE / RHE had very little meaning to our children. Therefore, we decided to give the children the opportunity to rename the subject. The School Council members worked together to come up with alternative names for PSHE and devised a questionnaire for each class with the aim of gaining the children’s views, allowing them to be fully involved into the re-branding of PSHE in our school. The children voted for their favourite name and as a result, PSHE will now be known as Me, You and the World.

Well done to all of the children at Monkton Infants School! We feel incredibly proud that you have all worked together to make such a significant change to our curriculum.

Space rockets and other types of transport

By Angela Ruffles1st March 2024

The 2 year old children have been busy learning all about different types of transport. They have made cars to travel in. Used cars to make tracks. Drawn their own pictures of transport.

 

 

The 30 hour children have been learning about what is underground. They have been digging in the garden to see what they could find. They found lots of worms, and even some flowers that had started to grow. So they looked at the roots and decided that they would like to make some flowers of their own.

 

The children in the main room are learning all about Space. We have our own space station in the classroom with a rocket!

We have been very busy making planets this week to put in the Space area. It took us a very long time.

We even made our own alien pictures!

We have been learning how to use chop sticks, made lanterns, plates of noodles, noodle prints, dragon masks and the 30 hour children even made their own spring rolls.
