QCT in ‘Health education learning and teaching’ Scotland 2000

“Owing to the sensitive nature of some of the subject matter being dealt with, it may be useful to establish a few ground rules before embarking on such a programme of work. The use of ‘golden rules’, as suggested in Jenny Mosley’s 'Turn Your School Round' should enable you and your class to discuss sensitive issues more freely… “We have weekly timetabled whole-school ‘circle time’ sessions and also have weekly assemblies where good effort, kindness, helpfulness, neighbourliness and other worthwhile attributes are recognised and rewarded with a personal certificate, a copy of which is displayed on the special award noticeboard. Nursery, class, school and playground rules are displayed and regularly reinforced.” Example of topic planning – all topics taken from ‘Quality Circle Time in the Primary School’ by Jenny Mosley
