Mental wellbeing

- simple self-care techniques, including the importance of rest, time spent with friends and family and the benefits of hobbies and interests.
- that mental wellbeing is a normal part of daily life, in the same way as physical health.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Might need to work as part of a guided group to remember different breathing exercises.
Pupils working at greater depth: Should try a range of breathing exercises and describe the pros and cons of each of them. Should describe in detail how relaxation makes them feel and how it affects the body.
