Learning objective
- To describe and understand their feelings
- To develop simple strategies for managing these feelings
National curriculum
Statutory guidance
Mental wellbeing
Pupils should know:
- how to recognise and talk about their emotions, including having a varied vocabulary of words to use when talking about their own and others’ feelings.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support:
Year 1: Might need images from the story in front of them to help them think how the characters were feeling, along with Activity: List of emotions (see Classroom resources)
Year 2: May need time to act out their scenario with prompting questions to help understand their different emotions and what they feel like.
Pupils working at greater depth:
Year 1: Should describe and show how their character feels but will also understand how the other characters feel.
Year 2: Could be challenged to draw upon their own experiences to help empathise with the girl from the clip and use this understanding to describe how she might be feeling.
