Learning objective
- To describe a range of feelings and develop simple strategies for managing them
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:
- H12. how to recognise and name different feelings
- H14. how to recognise what others might be feeling
- H16. about ways of sharing feelings; a range of words to describe feelings
- 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 example scenarios to think about and time to act these out with prompting questions to help understand their different emotions and what they feel like.
Pupils working at greater depth: Could use their own experiences to help empathise with the girl from the clip and use this understanding to describe how she might be feeling.
