Community Helpers - KS1 - Year 1

Community helpers KS1 PSHE lesson.  A one-hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 1, however, the activities are also suitable for students in Year 2, and could easily be adapted for use with older students. In this lesson, the children will learn about the roles and responsibilities of the people who work and live in our local community. We will discuss a variety of community helpers including police officers, firefighters, postal workers, health workers, teachers plus many more!  We will identify the best people to help us in a variety of situations and reflect on the value our community helpers bring to our local area. The lesson includes a case study starter, a video clip with accompanying questions, a ‘secret helper’ puzzle activity, and a plenary task. Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets. The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
