Introduction	Think-pair-share to create a word bank of different feelings. Introduce idea of different feelings using a feelings loop game.
Development	Get each child to take the feeling they had in the loop game and create their own picture to represent it. At the end, all the new illustrations will be put on a poster together with the feeling written on the back. It can then work as a flip chart to test for the different feelings. The new illustrations could be used in a PowerPoint and work as a quiz also.
Plenary	At the end, each child presents their piece to their group/ to the class to describe what they created and see if others can match it to the feeling from the loop game.

Introduction	Show a number of emoticons on the IWB,  ask the chn to TPS what the thing they might be learning about. Explain that this week we will be learning about feelings. Mind mapping session with the children. Teacher as scribe, invite the children to list as many emotions and feelings as they can. These will be written on the IWB.
Development	Explain that we often demonstrate our feelings through facial expressions and body language. Show video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOkyKyVFnSs from Inside Out – Guessing the feelings. Explain that we are going to play a game of recognising feelings. Chn pick a card out of the bowl and try to embody the feeling it displays. They then have to find the other chn in the class who pick out the same card (groups of 3/4) Repeat 2/3 times. Teacher goes around and assists chn to capture images of different emotions to play as a slideshow to be used later in the lesson and future development / revision
Plenary	Teacher displays the slideshow on the IWB, chn then either make the facial expression of the emotion or name the emotion seen. Discuss the confusion that some emotions can cause. Teacher recaps the knowledge, skill and attitude covered in the lesson.

Topic:

When I’m feeling… scared, happy, worried, loved

LT focus: 

• Feelings are important and everyone has them

• Feelings are messages that tell us how we are on the inside

Introduction

Tell the class that you will detail a number of different situations and they are to react using their faces only.

For example: Your parents tell you that you’re going to the cinema at the weekend.

You can’t play at the park because it’s raining.

Your ice cream fell on the ground.

Your baby cousin pours their food on their head.

Development

Tell the class that we they were just exploring how feelings we experience on the inside shine through on the outside. Go through a few of the scenarios just presented to the class and get them to discuss what they noticed they did to show the feeling e.g. did they feel their eyebrows move, what shape did their mouth make?

 

Go through the Emotions PowerPoint with the class. Get the children to predict the feeling they feel is being shown and a possible reason for their answer.

 

Discuss with the class how our feelings are important as they give us important messages. Some feelings don’t feel as good as others but they provide us with important information. For example, if I find it hard to keep our eyes open, this tells me I need to take a rest. Get the children to suggest the feelings that don’t feel that nice when we have them. Ask the class if they can think of something they can do to change this feeling or make it better?

 

Tell the class that they will be creating a booklet together about our feelings. Each group of 3/4 will be given a different feeling. They begin by drawing times you might experience the given feeling. On the other side, they provide suggestions of things you can do when they have that feeling.

 

For example: Worried- about a test, a competition, a performance

Possible solution- tell your teacher, ask a friend or parent to practice

When completed, the groups present their work to the class and it is all put together to create a booklet.

Plenary

Class will be divided into groups of 3/4 to create posters about how we can act when we have different feelings.

The introduction to the lesson can also be repeated after the discussion about how our face changes using playdough and a face template. The children could then use the playdough to create the different feelings on the face.

The booklet can be shared with other classes.
