Jigsaw is more than a scheme of work for PSHE. Whole school philosophy with children & young people at it’s heart, which nurtures the positive & inclusive culture of the whole school community.
There are also whole school assemblies and a songs along with an assessment process built in (green/purple statements - depth of understanding).
What does Jigsaw aim to do?
Comes from many adults saying:
“If only someone taught me this when I was a kid.”
Vision
The vision was to weave into a comprehensive programme:
Relevant and meaningful to all children - constantly updating.
Used internationally - opportunities to partner with schools around the world to develop global citizenship (Share the same lessons).

Dreams and Goals - New Year.
Raising aspirations (What do I want to be/ Who do I want to become?/ What do I want to do with my life?)

Couple this with emotions that come with success and positivity also with how he cope with disappointment when our plans don’t quite go how we thought they might. Also how we may not achieve something on the first go. (GROWTH MINDSET).

Chimes - explain
Why is Jigsaw the ‘mindful’ approach to PSHE?
What is mindfulness?
Are you in charge of your mind or is it in charge of you? (Understanding what mental health actually is).
Recognising what is going on internally and externally at a given moment.
Paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non judgmentally.
Opportunities to press the pause button and choose your response to a situation rather than simply reacting.
Helping children learn how to self regulate - to be in control of their own behaviour/ their responses to other people.
How is mindfulness taught in Jigsaw?
Content taught in lessons (thoughts - feelings - actions - sequences).
Calm me - breathing techniques, awareness exercises, visualization.
Pause (PAWS) - Jigsaw Jerrie Cat.
