Home learning can provide an excellent opportunity to embed PSHE education within household routines. Below are some examples of how learning in different PSHE topics can be applied to pupils’ daily lives during the social distancing period:

Healthy lifestyles

• Completing a short workout, followed by a conversation about how exercise makes someone feel and why it is important

• Having conversations about the importance of hygiene, including hand washing, following current government guidelines, etc

Relationships

Discussing the importance of ‘checking in’ with friends and being kind to one another during challenging times

• Keeping in contact with isolated family members or elderly relatives and having a conversation about the importance of doing this

Mental health and emotional wellbeing

Completing a yoga or meditation session online, and discussing how these practices can help to promote positive mental health

• Completing a journal on a daily or weekly basis to reflect on feelings and emotions

• Discussing daily goals and achievements

Digital literacy

Assessing the accuracy of sources of information after watching or reading media coverage, and recognising when and how to limit time accessing news coverage if it is causing feelings of anxiety or worry

• Discussing safe use of online tools that can be used to stay in touch, e.g. keeping personal information and social media accounts private, being respectful to others online, etc.
