Pupils needing support:

• Could refer to the Resource: Emotions and feelings poster: LKS2 during the Attention grabber.
• Could pre-watch or re-watch the Pupil video: The upstairs and downstairs brain to build familiarity with the concept through repeated visual explanations.
• Could be given bespoke strategies using the blank cards from the Resource: Strategy stations. 
• Could trial fewer strategies to reduce cognitive load and enable them to practise each strategy successfully.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should evaluate which strategy works best for different types of emotions.
• Could role-play helping a friend choose and use a strategy by adapting their advice to fit the emotion and explaining why it would help.
