Learning objective
- Use breathing exercises to relax
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 that pupils are taught:
- H1. about what keeping healthy means; different ways to keep healthy
- H18. different things they can do to manage big feelings, to help calm themselves down and/or change their mood when they don’t feel good
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need to work as part of a guided group to remember different breathing exercises.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should try a range of breathing exercises and describe the pros and cons of each of them. Should describe in detail how relaxation makes them feel and how it affects the body.
