A complete unit of Year 8 PSHCE lessons intended for the start of the Autumn term with a focus on transition emotional wellbeing. This unit comprises 7 x 1 hour lessons, each with lesson powerpoint, and a corresponding booklet for the whole unit.

Lessons are designed to be taught by non-specialists and require no preparation from the teacher beyond familiarising themselves with the resources. They are all tried and tested and have received excellent feedback from staff and students. All resources are fully editable for you to customise to suit your school.

I am a teacher of nearly 30 years experience and these lessons are informed by my experience teaching students with a wide variety of abilities and needs. They are sensitively planned to ensure children see positive representations of people they identify with and are supported in their PSHCE learning.

Lessons contain:
Clear structure
All the information teachers need to teach the lesson
Key words
A wide variety of learning tasks including solo, paired and group work
Discussion prompts
Stretch and support to enable differentiation
Consistent visual clues to support learners of all abilities
Pale yellow backgrounds to slide to support learners with visual stress
Whole class assessment opportunities such as thumbs up / down
A job of the week with a wide variety of jobs and workers
Answers for each task for students to feed back and self assess
Self assessment against the SoL at the end of each lesson

The booklet contains:
Exact match to the lessons on the slides
A scheme of learning

Support and stretch within tasks
Space for students to RAG rate their understanding at the beginning and end
