Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Children’s personal, social and emotional development (PSED) is crucial for children to lead health and happy lives, and is fundamental to their cognitive development.  Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world.  Strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. Through adult modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently.  Through supported interaction with other children they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably.  These attributes will provide a secure platform from which children can achieve at school and in later life.

Jigsaw is a whole-school approach and embodies a positive philosophy and creative teaching and learning activities to nurture children’s development as compassionate and well-rounded human beings as well as building their capacity to learn.

Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, compulsory Relationships and Health Education, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills and spiritual development. 

There are six Puzzles for each term.
