Today Your Child Learned…
Dear Parent & Guardian,
We are excited to share that your child has completed the following PSHE lesson. Check out our overview and top tips to support their development…
Today’s PSHE Lesson
Dealing With Loss (Remembering Lost Loved Ones)
Whether it’s losing a family member or a favourite pet, we need to know that remembering those that we’ve lost can help with our sadness. Sharing special times and memories with someone we trust is an important part of the grieving process, sad that they are no longer around but happy to have shared such special times.
What We Covered In The PSHE Lesson
Here’s what we went through today…
- How it’s important to remember those we’ve lost.
- That it’s good to talk to a trusted adult or friend when we want to talk about a loved one that we’ve lost.
How You Can Help From Home
Here’s what you can talk about during dinner…
- Talk to your child about the loved one that they’ve lost if they want to talk and share some of the good memories.
- Talk to your child about grief and that this feeling is normal but different for everyone.
Go Above & Beyond
Here are some other ideas to support your childs PSHE lessons…
- Your child may want to talk about someone who has passed away or is very unwell.
- It may be too painful for you to talk, perhaps there is a trusted person who can listen to your child and offer their support.
- Talk about how everyone grieves in different ways for a lost loved one.
- Keep mementos or photos of the loved one so that your child can look at these for comfort and this may prompt them to talk when they’re ready.
- Ask them what might help them with the loss of their loved one for example, visiting a park that they went to together or wearing a scarf that they used to wear.
- Talk to their school about the loss as they may be able to provide bereavement help and support your child too.
When it comes to your child’s development, teachers and parents are better together! By aligning our goals and education techniques, we can better realise our vision of positively preparing your child for their future.

The pupils at our school are really enjoying the lifewise scheme. The scheme is very staff-friendly and easy to monitor. More staff are now teaching lifewise as a consequence and all the DfE statutory guidance (+more) is covered. The staff at lifewise are extremely professional. As it is a digital platform, lessons are constantly being up-dated and improved.

Lifewise is a fantastic tool to use. It is easy and clear to navigate and as well as in class we have used Lifewise during remote learning sessions, whilst in lockdown.
I would thoroughly recommend this 'wellbeing session' tool to any school. It is exceptional.

Lifewise was so helpful for my online ELSA sessions. The format gave the children the chance to express their emotions. They loved the quiz and enjoyed the conversation.
