RS / PSHE Unit - What is Happiness? 6 Lessons and Resources

Inquiry-based scheme of work entitled “What is Happiness?”

Can be taught as a stand alone lessons or as part of the unit. Aimed as a KS3 unit taught within RS, however it also has strong links with PSHE and mindfulness education.

Each lesson includes:

• Starter
• Homework
• Learning objectives and 3D learning outcomes
• Presentation
• Construct Activities
• Application Activities
• Plenary and reviews
• Embedded differentiation (where applicable)

The unit explores RS concepts such as stewardship, philosophical concepts such as Bentham and measuring happiness - a holistic and well-rounded introduction to ‘Happiness’ through the eyes of mini-philosophers! A great way to develop mindfulness, resilience and values in our students.

Please give feedback! I am always happy to respond to comments - whether positive or constructive - this will help to improve the quality of my resources in the future and, more importantly, the quality of pupils’ RE/RS education in general - which is what we’re all here for!
