There are lots of PSHCE related lessons, activities and events going on at Harrington Hill – in fact PSHCE is interwoven into everything we do! However, here are just a few of the highlights!
Equaliteach workshops
In the Autumn Term, our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils participated in a thought provoking and challenging workshop run by Equaliteach. Throughout the session, the children discussed lots of issues relating to equality, diversity and inclusion and were encouraged to develop their critical thinking skills.
Diversity Week
We celebrate the wonderful diversity that exists within Harrington Hill Primary and in our local community as a whole by holding an annual Diversity Week. During the week, we ask parents and carers to come in to school and share something of their culture with their child’s class. This includes cooking food, teaching games or sharing examples of traditional music. At the end of the week we have a flag fancy dress day when the children can come to school dressed up in the colours representing where they are from!
Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural Provision
‘Say No To Hate’ Workshop
Year 6 pupils take part in a ‘Say No To Hate’ workshop. The workshop is split into three sessions.
The first session explores prejudices and stereotypes and provides an introduction to hate speech and hate crime.
In the second workshop the children explore the differences between free speech and hate speech, the consequences of hate and what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour online and offline.
The final session is a creative opportunity for pupils to design their own t-shirt focused on key messages from the sessions and ideas for countering hate.
The workshops generates lots of interesting discussion and challenges our Year 6 pupils to think through some difficult issues.
