Change and Loss - KS1 PSHE

Feelings, change and loss KS1/Year 1/Autumn 1 PSHE lesson.

Created with a view to being delivered in the first half-term of the year, this hour-long, fully resourced lesson explores change, loss, and the emotional impact of losing something, or someone that we care about.

Whilst the lesson has been created with Year 1 in mind, the PowerPoint and activities may also be suitable for adjacent year groups.

In this lesson, the children will learn about different kinds of change and the affect they have on our feelings. We will read The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers, before completing a set of activities linked to the text.

The lesson includes an inference-based starter activity, a card sort partner talk activity, a story with accompanying comprehension questions, a set of practical change/loss-themed activities, and a plenary task.

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.
