Learning objective

  • To recognise how others show feelings in different ways and how to respond

National curriculum

All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice.

The PSHE Association Programme of Study recommends pupils are taught:

  • H12. how to recognise and name different feelings
  • H14. how to recognise what others might be feeling
  • H16. about ways of sharing feelings; a range of words to describe feelings
  • H18. different things they can do to manage big feelings, to help calm themselves down and/or change their mood when they don’t feel good
