Safe and Smart Choices - Year 1

Safe and Smart Choices Year 1 PSHE

In this Year 1 Wider World unit, we will learn about rules and why it is important to follow them. We will explore the internet and digital devices, as well as thinking about online safety as we discuss practical dos and don’ts, using the story Chicken Clicking to highlight online risks. In the latter half of the unit, our focus shifts to strengths, interests, and understanding our place in the community. In future years, we will revisit these ideas and develop a deeper understanding of our identities, collaborative communities and online safety.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
