Recovery & Wellbeing (PHSE) – Listening & Responsibilities (8 of 8) UPDATED

Description

Back to school and Recovery Curriculum focusing of PHSE and well-being. Unmasked is the **EIGHTH** in a series of eight sessions. This whole package takes a sensitive approach to welcoming pupils at Key Stage 2 and 3 safely and securely back to school.

The focus is on recovery from Covid 19, encouraging pupils to develop the confidence to reflect and describe their experiences. The series addresses pupil anxiety and fears, by drawing them into discussion through short games and fun activities that help to relax them and to create a sense of normality. The series aims to improve pupil well-being through sharing joy and laughter in the classroom and by providing coping strategies to support others as well as themselves, inducing a sense of hope in order to build resilience.

The bundle is divided into 8 separate sessions, some of which can be continued for up to two lessons. It includes 8 powerpoints, original comic scripts and art work, independent challenges, along with a full set of notes for teacher guidance.

In **Unmasked:** script reading, games, listening activities, role play, learning basic sign language. A focus on the rules around masked wearing and personal reactions and reasons for wearing them. Looking closely at listening, ‘head chatter’ and at other ways of communicating.

**CONTENTS:**
* 1 powerpoint
* Teacher Notes/Support Documents
