Teacher video: Creating an inclusive classroom environment
This RSE & PSHE scheme of work video helps teachers explore practical strategies to build an inclusive classroom where every child feels valued, respected, and able to succeed.
The video begins by highlighting the importance of understanding each child’s strengths, interests, and learning styles, in order to tailor approaches. The video then introduces adaptive teaching to support a diverse range of learners and make learning accessible for all.
Teachers are encouraged to foster a welcoming classroom ethos that celebrates diversity and promotes open communication. By involving children in setting class rules and boundaries, mutual respect and accountability are strengthened. Strategies such as flexible seating and group work give pupils the chance to collaborate, build social skills like empathy, and form diverse friendships. The video also explores the importance of modelling inclusive language and respectful communication. Approaches to conflict resolution are also demonstrated, supporting pupils in understanding differences and finding solutions together.
Finally, the video looks at how involving families can further promote inclusivity. Acknowledging cultural celebrations, strengthening home–school connections, and ensuring classroom displays reflect diversity all help create a learning environment where every child feels represented and empowered.
Pupil video: How do adults earn money?
This RSE & PSHE scheme of work video is part of a lesson in which pupils explore the role of money in everyday life and the main ways adults earn or receive it.
Children begin by recapping the different uses of money. Pupils will discover how money meets our needs, for example how it is used to buy essentials and pay bills. They also learn about saving for the future, whether to prepare for unexpected costs or to pay for larger items like a car or holiday. Finally, they explore how money can be used for things we want, like leisure or treats, if there is any left over.
The lesson then introduces the main ways adults receive money. Pupils will understand that most people earn money through jobs, and that jobs often require training and special skills. They also learn that some adults may receive money through government benefits if they are unable to work, or through occasional gifts and prizes. By the end of the lesson, pupils will have a clearer understanding of why money is important, how it is earned, and why it is essential to look after it and spend it wisely.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Year 2 Economic wellbeing unit. It helps pupils build financial awareness and decision-making skills for everyday life.
