Lesson video

Hello, my name is Ms. Rose.

Today, we're going to be looking at the lesson called Knowing How I Feel.

This fits into the lesson unit Emotions: How do I feel today? In this lesson, we're going to begin to understand and learn how we can explain our feelings to other people.

So, let's get ready to begin.

Let's get our eyes ready to look, our ears ready to listen, and our brains ready to do some thinking.

Today's lesson outcome is I can name the emotion I am feeling and begin to explain why I feel that way.

Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together, and we have some friends here to help us.

Laura says, "We should listen to others," and that means we're not going to talk or interrupt when somebody else is speaking.

Andeep said, "We should respect privacy," and that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience that we're not going to repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgement ," and that means if somebody does decide to share their own story or experience that we're not going to judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation," and that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share some things throughout the lesson.

All of these ground rules are here to keep everyone safe in the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

I will read them first to you, and then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Emotions.

Experience.

Well done.

Emotions are feelings we have inside, like happiness, sadness, or anger.

Experience means things that happen to us and how they make us feel.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lessons outline, and we're going to begin with what words describe the basic emotions.

We can use different words to talk about how we feel.

It's important to name the emotion we are feeling.

Can you name any of these emotions shown in the images? Have a little think to yourself.

We can use these words to describe our emotions.

We could say I'm happy or I'm sad, I'm worried or I'm angry.

Time for a check for understanding.

Tell your partner which words you would use to describe these emotions.

Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done if you said worried and sad.

We can also use words to describe the sensations we are feeling.

When we describe the sensations, it helps other people to know which emotion we are feeling.

For example, Jacob says, "If I'm feeling worried, I explain that my heart is beating faster and that my hands are feeling sweaty." Andeep says, "When I'm angry, I tell other people that I need time to be alone." Laura says, "If I'm feeling happy, I explain that my tummy feels warm and fuzzy." And Izzy says, "When I'm sad, I tell other people my body feels heavy and my eyes are watery." Everyone experiences emotions differently.

This means the way we describe our emotions and sensations might be different to the way other people describe their sensations.

You may also feel the same sensations when you are experiencing different emotions.

For example, if you are angry or worried, your heart might beat faster.

Time for a check for understanding.

Which emotion could Marley be describing? Marley says, "My heart is beating faster and my voice is shaky." Hmm.

Which emotion could Marley be describing? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done for having a go.

Marley could be feeling worried because his heart is beating faster, and his voice is shaky.

Time for a task now.

First, match the word to describe the emotion.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task.

Well done for having a go.

Your matched-up pictures should look like this.

The first picture is showing happy, the second picture is showing sad, the third picture is showing worried, and the fourth picture is showing angry.

Well done if you got those correct.

For the second part of the task, you need to match the sensation to the emotion.

The first person says, "My heart is beating faster, and my hands are feeling sweaty." The second person says, "My tummy feels warm and fuzzy," and the third person says, "My eyes feel watery, and I don't feel like smiling." You need to match up the emotion to each sensation.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

Your matched-up sensations might look like this.

My tummy feels warm and fuzzy could mean that somebody is feeling happy, my heart is beating faster, and my hands are feeling sweaty, this person could be feeling worried or angry, and my eyes feel watery, don't feel like smiling, they could be feeling sad.

Well done if you've got those answers correct.

We're now going to move on to the second and the final part of this lesson, how can I tell you how I feel? Telling others how we feel is important.

It means that our friends and trusted adults know how we feel and they can help us to feel better.

Izzy says, "When my friend tells me she is sad, I try to cheer her up." Laura says, "My trusted adult helps me when I tell them that I'm feeling worried about something." It's important that we talk about all of our emotions, including tricky emotions, like anger, sadness, or worry.

Time for a check of understanding.

True or false? We should not talk about tricky emotions like anger, sadness, or worry.

Put your hands on your head if you think it's true or your hands on your shoulders if you think it's false.

Hmm.

We should not talk about tricky emotions, like anger, sadness, or worry.

Hmm, true or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said false.

Now I'd like you to have a little think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

This statement is false because it's important that we talk about all of our emotions.

When we talk about our emotions, it means that our friends and trusted adults know we feel and can help us to feel better.

As well as using words to tell other people how we feel, we can also show how we're feeling with our body and our face.

Just like this person, we know that they're feeling angry because they are frowning their eyebrows and they are crossing their arms. We can also draw a picture to show how we feel.

We can also use an emotion chart to point and show how we're feeling.

On your screen now is an emotion chart with different emotions and labels.

Laura says, "How are you feeling today?" I wonder if you can point on your screen to the emotion that you are feeling.

Time for a check for understanding.

How can we tell others how we feel? Is it A, by drawing a picture to show how we feel, B, by keeping our feelings to ourselves, or C, by showing with our face and our bodies? Hmm.

How can we tell others how we feel? Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done if you said A and C.

We can tell others how we feel by drawing a picture to show how we feel or by showing with our face and our body.

Thinking about why we feel happy, sad, angry, or worried can help us to understand our feelings better.

Once we know why we feel a certain emotion, it can be easier to explain our feelings to others.

For example, Izzy says, "I felt sad at lunchtime yesterday, but I didn't know why.

Then, I decided to stop and think about it.

I realised that I felt sad because I missed my mom.

I was then able to talk to my teacher, who made me feel better." Well done, Izzy.

Sometimes, we may want help to understand an emotion.

We can get help from our trusted adults, such as parents and carers and teachers and school staff.

Time for a check for understanding.

Tell your partner who you could get help from to understand your emotions better.

Pause this video so you can have some time to think about your answer.

Well done for having a go.

You might have said parents and carers, teachers and school staff, or other trusted adults.

Time for a task now.

Lucas finds it tricky to tell other people how he is feeling.

With your partner, come up with two different ways Lucas could share his feelings with other people.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

Your answers could include: Lucas could use his words to describe how he is feeling, he could use his body and face to show how he is feeling, he could draw a picture to show how he is feeling, he could point to an emotion chart to show how he is feeling, he could think about why he is feeling a certain emotion to help him explain his feelings better, and he could speak to a trusted adult about his feelings to help him understand them better.

Well done if your answer were similar to mine.

Here is a summary of everything that we've covered today.

We can use different words to talk about how we feel.

For example, we can name the emotion we feel and describe the sensations we are experiencing.

It's important to talk about all emotions, including tricky ones like anger and sadness.

When we tell others, especially our trusted adults, how we feel, it means that they can understand our emotions and help us to feel better.

We can tell others about our emotions by using our body and face, drawing pictures, or using an emotion chart.

We should think about why we feel a certain emotion so that we can understand our feelings better.

Trusted adults like parents, carers, and teachers can help us do this.

So that brings us to the end of our lesson.

I've had a wonderful time with you today.
