PSHE at Home
At Highfield we use SCARF for our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education. With SCARF, children learn vital life skills they need to help them be happy, healthy and safe.
The theme this half term is Keeping Myself Safe.
We’re thinking the different ways we can keep ourselves healthy and safe, including staying safe online. We’ll be learning skills to help us look after our body. Older children will be learning about assertiveness, recognising the influence of friends and also how to think critically about the decisions we make and managing risks safely.
Follow these steps to find specially designed SCARF at home activities. These are similar to the ones your child's class are doing in school at this time.
