Supporting my physical health and well being

What this area will help me to learn?

What that may look like?

Supporting pupils to re-engage with physical health and well being routines as well as learn new routines which will support pupils to keep safe and enable infection control.   This will include hand washing, social distancing, understanding of new school routines as well as supporting pupils with their personal care and tolerating differences in these routines such as use of an alternative hygiene room facility or being supported in a different way for eating/ drinking. Supporting pupils to be independent through their own dressing and undressing where needed and supporting pupils to be physically well through active sessions, use of outdoor space and understanding about keeping physically well.

We will be planning in lots of time where children are able to explore and re-investigate their environments to become familiar with what might be different (i.e. one way systems in school, different markings in school, different access to resources in the classroom, some rooms which are closed) and understanding these differences will be supported with social stories, photos and pictures.

Learning in supporting my physical health and well being will focus on managing and coping within new processes keeping safe. This will include:

Understanding what is different about school and how to navigate this environment

Hand washing and hygiene measures

Adapting to using areas of the school that may not be usual and being in environment and with staff that are not usual.

Keeping and maintaining social distancing

Catch it, kill it, bin it messages

Health and hygiene sessions focusing on washing, being independent and looking after yourself.
