Learning objective
- To understand what relaxation feels like and that relaxation techniques can be used anywhere
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:
- 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: Might need to have more examples of calm places and support in describing the environment.
Pupils working at greater depth: Could think about how they would talk someone through this place as a visualisation activity and use appropriate expression and intonation to calm talk someone through their relaxing environment.
