#TheCompleteSeries5lessons

To begin with, children will look at and discuss some common emotions, and increase their vocabulary for describing these feelings. They will then go on to explore how we can express the emotions we feel on our faces, in our bodies, and through our actions. Children will begin to understand that not everyone feels the same about things, and that this is OK. They will learn how to ask for help with difficult feelings, and finally, explore the emotions that different changes can bring. Please be aware that, for copyright purposes, we are unable to provide the texts listed in lesson 4 and lesson 5 of this scheme of work.

Each of the lessons in this How Do I Feel? Year 1 PSHE pack includes an easy-to-follow plan, a set of engaging slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources.

In their independent activities, children will identify how a range of situations would make them feel, and then are challenged to find someone who feels the same as them, and someone who feels differently.

#Lesson4AskingforHelpwithFeelings

At the beginning of this lesson, children explore the idea that people can't always tell how others are feeling just by how they look on the 'outside'. Sometimes they might need to ask for help with their feelings.

Using the story of Ruby's Worry by Tom Percival, children find out why it is always a good idea to talk about a worry. In their independent activities, children use given scenarios to talk through who they would ask for help with a worry, and what they would say.

In this final KS1 lesson, children discuss what change is, and how different changes, whether big or small, can make us feel.

After looking at a range of changes and identifying the emotions they might feel, children listen to the story of Badger's Parting Gifts by Susan Varley, which explores a big change - loss. In their independent activities, children further explore how a range of different changes would make them feel.

This Changes KS1 lesson pack comes with an easy-to-follow plan, a set of engaging slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources.
