A complete PHSCE lesson for KS2 based around the range of feelings, how we express them and how they can be confused and masked by others. Children take part in discussions and role plays across the lesson. The planning refers to the text 'The Bad Seed' by Jory John. This is a great book which fits in with the plan brilliantly.

**My hugely popular lesson, completely updated and redesigned for the New Year. ** Children will discuss and reflect on their achievements to date. They will discuss what resolutions are, and why we make them at New Year. They will then go on to plan and write a structured letter to themselves, setting out their hopes and ambitions for the year. They will also make one firm ‘Promise’ or resolution. The letter can then be opened at a later, specified date. A fully detailed PowerPoint is included - that also sets out a structure for the letter. Scaffolds, a writing frame and a model letter are also included. All images from PIXABAY.
