Learning personal hygiene routines
Pupils have had to learn the importance of regular hand washing throughout the recent pandemic. At school we continue to reinforce good personal hygiene, at regular intervals during the day. We encourage pupils to take as much responsibility for their own care as they can.
Learning self care skills for life
Pupils will learn appropriate self care skills during their school life, gradually increasing their independence in preparation for adult life. Skills will often be part of their Personal Learning Goals (PLGs)
Learning about sun protection
At Fiveways we love to be outside, whatever the weather! Pupils learn the importance of sun protection and how to dress appropriately for different types of weather. With support they learn how to apply sun cream themselves and to take responsibility for dressing appropriately for the day’s weather conditions.
