PSHE AND CITIZENSHIP CURRICULUM LINKS

Ten Ten Theatre will produce and provide a supplementary resource pack including lesson plans for further exploration of the issues within the classroom. This pack links directly to the PSHE and Citizenship Curriculum for KS3.

This resource pack is being developed between January and March 2010. However, it is our intention to include many of the following links to the curriculum:

assess their strengths in relation to personality, work and leisure (1a);
recognise how others see them, and be able to give and receive constructive feedback and praise (1c);
recognise the stages of emotions associated with loss and change caused by new situations, and how to deal positively with the strength of feelings in such circumstances (1d);
identify the importance of self-esteem for developing long-term goals and aspirations;
recognise and manage risk and make safer choices about lifestyles, associations and environments (2e);
recognise when pressure from others threatens their personal safety and well-being, and to develop effective ways of resisting pressures, including knowing when and where to get help (2f);
