All about feelings KS1 PSHE lesson. A one-two hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 2, however, the activities may also suit younger students in KS2 (Year 3).
In this lesson, the students will learn about different types of emotions and how to recognise them. The students will read ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas and carry out a selection of monster-themed activities.
The lesson includes a case study starter, a read-aloud activity with a comprehension task, a set of emotions sorting cards, a literacy-themed main activity (describing emotions using similes) and a plenary.
Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets.
The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
