Hi Woody
I teach PSHE to a year 6 class for one hour on a Friday PM. Because it's this time of the day i try to make the lessons interesting.
From Sept to Dec we covered Health, which involved the pupils working together and producing a 30 min play containing their own songs, dance and role-play.
They said they enjoyed this a lot and it was a tough time for some having to share ideas and vote.
From Jan -Easter we have covered Citizenship, looking at news reports from our local paper on issues to do with anti-social behaviour and vandalism. Finished this last week with a visit from local police and the anti-social behaviour officer to explain about the consequences.
Newt term I will be covering transition- moving on. I will use dance and drama leading to them showing this during their last week in school, plus they will be producing a school leavers memory book using ICT.
Kids really enjoy it as it's only for an hour then it's assembly time, plus they say it's different from all their other lessons.
I do this for PPA!
What kind of topics have you been covering?
