The session starts by playing Chinese whispers to show children how the original information has been changed and distorted. The presentation then explains rumours and how this can be a form of bullying like name calling. Children are given a scenario to discuss - Is the child being bullied? What could she do that would make the situation better? What would make it worse? For the main activity you will need boards/mats for snakes and ladders (or alternatively print some from online). Children will need to come up with a bullying scenario using a particular theme e.g. racism. They need to create two sets of cards. One set for things that will make the situation better (for when a player lands on a ladder) and one et for things that will make the situation worse (for when a player lands on a snake).

A fantastic lesson that generated some great discussion about jobs and their salaries. The discussion was so rich in mine that it carried over two lessons. First children are given cards with different jobs (discuss any unfamiliar to children before starting). They are asked to rank them from most important to least important and give feedback on their answers. They are then asked to consider what they think the salary for each job might be and try to match these. The powerpoint then reveals the average salaries in descending order. This generates excellent discussion about whether this is fair, which jobs should earn less/more, are you surprised by any etc As a final activity children can research a job they would like to pursue in the future and then create an advert for this job based on what they have found. I have included a SEN template, a word mat and some links for useful websites. Please note I do not own any of the images used in the presentation.

This lovely powerpoint is great to use in the first half term and encourages children to think about what they want to achieve by the end of the academic year. It encourages children to think about the impact of their words and actions on those around them and consider how to make better choices. The first activity in the presentation has a blank space for your school’s mission statement. You could discuss the key words as a class or make it into an activity for their books. I personally put the key words on stickers, got the children to match them to a definition and then think of a way to show that quality. More able pupils used dictionaries to support their own definitions. For the other children I put the definitions on stickers and they had to match them up. Children then need to think of 6 goals for the year ahead - 3 personal and 3 learning (the powerpoint discusses the difference) - which they can record on the worksheet As a reflection at the end of the lesson they can start to think about how they can achieve these

Presentation first gets children to think about the best way to act in an emergency. There is a link to a video on the St John’s Ambulance website that goes through the recovery procedure step by step. I got my children into pairs and they took it in turns to follow this step by step, I paused the video a lot so they could keep up. Finally I asked them to tell me what the next step was before hitting play to see if they could remember. There is a differentiated matching activity to finish, where children match the picture to the sentence and put them in the correct order. The HA version also has some missing vocabulary.

This looks at all aspects of a helathy lifestyle rather than just focusing on food. It is a great powerpoint to use at the end of a Healthy Me unit as it brings everything togther and consolidates learning Please note I do not own any of the images used in this resource.

Presentation gives advice on creating strong passwords and why this is important. My children had access to an online house points account so we created passwords for this but the slide that mentions this could be changed accordingly. There is also a quiz which I used as a starter to see how knowledgeable my children were. The final activity I suggest here is a poster with all of the advice they have learned.

Presentation that explains each type of bullying and the difference between them. There are scenarios for the children to discuss. The main activity has examples of bullying for the children to sort into direct or indirect (sticker format) Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.

A great presentation that first looks at ideas around ‘normal’ body types and how to promote a healthy body image. It then moves onto looking at images presented in the media and how these have been altered, including some useful web links. The main activity challenges children to think about someone they admire and come up with reasons why, without solely focusing on their looks.

These resources look at people’s relationships with food and how this can become problematic. The powerpoint looks at anorexia including causes, harmful side effects and recovery. It encourages children to think positively about themselves and others. The main activity asks children to create a ‘recipe’ for a healthy body image and is differentiated three ways.

These resources allow children to show what they already know about the dangers of smoking and build on this. There is a quiz at the start and then a link to a very effective poster by anti-smoking campaigners showing the effects of smoking on children and teenagers. Body image from shuttershock

Worksheet looking at 4 pictures depicting negative behaviour. Children write a sentence describing the action, then another describing what the consequence might be. Can be completed independently but a nice activity to complete in pairs. Picture sheet can be used for discussion activity.

A lovely lesson that requires children to consider what they want in the futue and where they see themselves at certain ages. You can also look at dreams of childen in other cultures. For the slide that asks children to look at the pictures on their table, I would simply google ‘children in other cultures’ and choose some suitable images. I believe I used a child in a school that looked very dofferent to our own schools, a child carrying lots of bottles and buckets of water and a child using tools to gather crops. The BBC learning clip (link on power point) generated some excellent discussion. For the book activity you could create a Venn diagram for own dreams and Evangeline’s dreams. I did not have time in my lesson so we simply answered the questions on the slide. Please note I do not own any of the images used in the presentation
