Introduction

Citizenship: SSEHV Lesson Plans & Citizenship

 

Key Stage 1

Key Stage 2

Key Stage 1: PSHE, Citizenship and the Sathya Sai Education in Human Values Programme

The table below demonstrates how the Sathya Sai Education in Human Values programme can be used to meet the national curriculum requirements of Key Stage 1 for PSHE and Citizenship. Please note:

  • All lesson plan references for key stage 1 are taken from "Sathya Sai Education in Human Values - An Introduction and Lesson Plans" (Book 1 & Book 2).
  • Sathya Sai EHV is based on a coherent approach to learning of the "head" (cognitive), "heart" (affective) and "hands" (physical). Therefore "feelings" are dealt with in every lesson and children are encouraged to discuss the quotation/theme for the week.

These tables are available in booklet form for ease of reference. Please contact us for details.
