Learning objective
- To use mindfulness to manage emotions
National curriculum
All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.
The PSHE Association Programme of Study recommends pupils are taught:
- H4. how to recognise that habits can have both positive and negative effects on a healthy lifestyle
- H16. about strategies and behaviours that support mental health — including how good quality sleep, physical exercise/time outdoors, being involved in community groups, doing things for others, clubs, and activities, hobbies and spending time with family and friends can support mental health and wellbeing
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Have the Presentation: Relaxation slides visible to remind them of strategies previously looked at.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should describe when they would use different relaxation strategies, clearly articulating why.
