Learning objective
- To begin to understand what mental health is and who can help if they need it
Statutory guidance
Pupils should know:
- Where and how to seek support (including recognising the triggers for seeking support), including whom in school they should speak to if they are worried about their own or someone else’s mental wellbeing or ability to control their emotions (including issues arising online).
- It is common for people to experience mental ill-health. For many people who do, the problems can be resolved if the right support is made available, especially if accessed early enough.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: May benefit from hearing the story read in a smaller group prior to the lesson, to enable them to contribute more confidently in class.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can be challenged to discuss in more detail some of the feelings Dad had in the story and how this affected him and his son.
