KS1 & KS2 RSHE (PSHE) curriculum

At Year 3, pupils are capable of taking more responsibility for their physical health and making informed choices about food and activity. Building on the knowledge gained in Year 1 and Year 2, this unit extends to planning daily healthy habits and routines. This is timely as pupils develop greater independence in their food choices and activity levels. By exploring these concepts now, pupils develop practical skills for incorporating regular physical activity into their daily lives, making balanced food choices, and understanding the connection between diet, exercise, and overall wellbeing.
