Learning objective
- To understand the benefits of sleep
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:
- H1. how to make informed decisions about health
- H2. about the elements of a balanced, healthy lifestyle
- H8. about how sleep contributes to a healthy lifestyle; routines that support good quality sleep; the effects of lack of sleep on the body, feelings, behaviour and ability to learn
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need to be given some of the examples stated in the lesson plan to help give them ideas or could use the Activity: Script template example with some filled in examples.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should suggest varied ways their quality of sleep is affected as well as how this can negatively affect their mental and physical wellbeing.
