Being Me In My World
Celebrating Difference
Dreams and Goals
Healthy Me
Relationships
Explain how the Puzzles starts in September and finish in July, which helps to show progression. We have seen success in schools that have timetabled Jigsaw lessons at same time (e.g. all classes doing Jigsaw on Tuesday afternoons). This is helpful for monitoring, inter-class work, celebrations, etc.
Give an overview of each Puzzle.
Being Me In My World: A sense of belonging; Welcoming others; Building the positive and nurturing ethos of the class/school; Being part of a school community, a wider community, a global community; Rights (UNCRC) and responsibilities; Working and socialising with others; School Council and pupil voice; The Learning Charter: rights, responsibilities, rewards and consequences.
Celebrating Difference: Similarities and differences – diversity; Appearance, disability, racism, power, friendships, conflict; Accepting everyone’s right to ‘difference’, regardless of their circumstances or choices; What is ‘normal’?; Bullying – what it is and what it isn’t, including cyber and homophobic bullying.
Dreams and Goals: Hopes and dreams; Goals to success; Learning and personal strengths; Challenges – team work skills and tasks; Overcoming obstacles; Enterprise and fundraising; Experiencing and managing feelings of pride, ambition, disappointment, success; Aspirations – jobs and careers; Dreams and goals of others in different cultures/countries; Dreams for the world .
Healthy Me: Emotional health (Relaxation, being safe, friendships, mental health skills, body image, relationships with food, managing stress) and Physical health (Eating a balanced diet, physical activity, rest and relaxation, keeping clean, drugs and alcohol, being safe, first aid).
Relationships: Families; Friendships; Love and Loss; Memories; Grief cycle; Pets and animals; Safeguarding and keeping safe; Attraction; Assertiveness; Conflict; Own strengths and self-esteem; Cyber safety and social networking; Roles and responsibilities in families; Stereotypes; Communities; Wider communities

Tuesday For Friday English Homework Wednesday for Wednesday Theme\RE\Science Friday for Monday Maths Friday for Friday Spellings and Times Tables

15. Sacraments
Reconciliation Most of the preparation will take place in school but some homework will be given. The emphasis is on reconciling with the Father rather than sins. The children are encouraged to say sorry but not dwell upon any guilt. This will usually take place at Church at 6pm in March. Communion Again most of the preparation takes place in school. The actual Communion celebration will be on a Saturday morning in early June.

17. What is your definition of bullying?
What do you think bullying is?
What do your teachers say is bullying?
What do your parents say what is bullying?

18. The problem is we all say different things!

19. KiVa definition of bullying
What makes a behaviour ‘bullying’ rather than peer-peer conflict or unprovoked aggression?
It is on-going and repeated
It is deliberate and intentional
There is a power difference between the person/people doing the bullying and the person experiencing it.

20. What will KiVa help us to do
What will KiVa help us to do? To define ‘bullying’ (both ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’) To know the different forms bullying can take To know when a behaviour is ‘bullying’ To know who is involved in ‘bullying’ To know what to do if you are bullied or see someone being bullied

21. Becoming a Kiva School
There will be KiVa lessons which will help everyone to understand how we need to respect and show kindness (KiVa) to EVERYONE in our community.
There will also be a KiVa team of staff who will help you if you are being bullied

22. Universal Actions
Whole school lesson plans designed to prevent bullying.
Programme split in to 2 units:-
Unit 1 is taught throughout Yr 3 and revisited in Yr 4
Unit 2 is taught throughout Yr 5 and revisited in Yr 6
Each unit containing 10 lessons.
KiVa is also threaded through EYFS and KS1 in assemblies and PSD.

23. Universal Actions (cont.)
Each lesson usually finishes with a rule
e.g. ‘We will not join in with bullying!’
There are lots of fun activities and games online that you will be able to play at school and at home

24. Universal Actions (cont.)
KiVa Contract rule

25. Indicated Actions
Used once a case of bullying has come to the attention of the school staff. Indicated actions refer to an adult intervention in an emerged case of bullying by addressing the children involved in the bullying as well as helping and supporting the victimised pupil.
The indicated actions follow a staged approach from both the class teachers and the KiVa team. (Up to 4 people who are nominate to coordinate the programme and undertake the indicated actions.)
Two different approaches are recommended for the discussion with the children who have taken part in the bullying: Confrontational or Non Confrontational.
