Hello, my name is Miss Willow, and I'm going to be your teacher for today's lesson.

Today's lesson is called Managing Change, and it fits into the unit Emotions: What Helps Me to be Happy.

During this lesson, we're going to be talking a little bit about bullying and being upset, so we recommend that you have an adult with you for the duration of this lesson.

If at any point you do feel worried or uncomfortable, it's really important that you close the screen and that you go and speak to a trusted adult.

Okay, let's make a start on today's learning.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to explain change and how it makes you feel.

Before we get started, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone feels safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

We have some friends to help us remember our ground rules.

First, we have Laura.

Laura says that we need to listen to others.

This means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.

Next, we have Andeep.

Andeep says that we need to respect each other's privacy.

This means that we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions, as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

Jacob says no judgement.

This means that if someone chooses to share a story, a feeling, or an experience, we're not going to judge them for it.

And finally, Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

This means it's up to us how much she wants to join in.

We are now going to go through the keywords for today's learning.

These are gonna pop up quite a few times in today's lesson, so it's important that we have a good understanding of what each word means.

First of all, we have the word change.

This means the way things become different to how they used to be.

Next, we have transition.

This is when something changes or becomes something else.

Next, we have the word worried.

This means thinking about something bad or upsetting.

And finally, scared.

This means feeling afraid or worried about what might happen.

As we go through today's lesson, keep an eye out for these keywords, and when you spot them, see if you can remember what they mean.

Today's lesson is split into two learning cycles.

Our first learning cycle is called what does change feel like? And our second learning cycle is called how can I handle change? Let's make a start on our first learning cycle.

What does change feel like? Change happens all the time, even if we don't realise it.

We experience change when we try a new food, when we visit a new place, when we meet new people.

These are all examples of changes.

Some changes can feel quite big.

For example, moving schools is a big change, or moving house, or getting a new family member, maybe a little brother or sister.

What changes have you experienced? Have a think.

Maybe you want to tell the people around you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Some people find change really exciting.

Alex says, "I was so excited to transition to a different year group at school.

I couldn't wait to learn new things and have a new teacher." Izzy says, "I was so happy when I found out that I was going to have a baby sister.

I couldn't wait to meet her." Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

Is this statement true or false? Change only happens from time to time.

What do you think? Is this true or false? Pause the video, tell the people next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false, but why? You might have said that, "Change happens all the time.

There are small changes, like trying new foods and meeting new people, and big changes, like moving schools, moving house, or getting a new family member." But change happens all the time, so it's not true that change only happens from time to time.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

Everyone has different feelings about change.

Change can be difficult to handle, even if we feel excited about it.

Izzy says, "Even though I was excited for my baby sister to be born, when she was here, it was still a hard transition.

She cried a lot and my parents had less time to play with me than before.

It was a big change when she joined the family." Change can make some people feel worried or scared.

Andeep says, "I felt worried about the transition into a new class.

I was worried that I wouldn't like my teacher and that I would find the work too hard." Sofia says, "I felt scared when I moved to a new football club.

I was scared that I wouldn't make any new friends and that the other kids would be unkind to me." However we feel about change is okay.

A change that makes us feel excited might make someone else feel worried or scared, so it's really important that we support friends through change.

Sam says, "I was feeling excited about a new person joining our class, but one of my friends was feeling worried.

I supported them by asking if they were okay and trying to make them feel better." Well done, Sam.

This shows that you're being a really good friend, supporting your friend through change.

Let's move on to our first practise task.

You've done a brilliant job so far.

Well done.

For the first part of this task, Jun's family is thinking about moving house.

What are two emotions that he could be feeling? What do you think? Pause the video, and we'll go through what you might have said in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

Because Jun's family is thinking about moving house, there are lots of different emotions that Jun could be feeling.

He could be feeling excited, happy, worried, or scared.

He could feel more than one of these emotions too.

He could feel both excited and worried.

That's okay too.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

For the second part of this task, I'd like you to complete the sentences with the missing words.

You can use the words in the word bank to help you.

Let's have a look at our paragraphs first.

There are blank changes, like trying new foods and meeting new people, and blank changes, like moving schools or getting a new family member.

Everyone has blank feelings about change.

A change that makes us feel blank might make someone else feel worried or blank, so it's important to blank our friends through change.

Let's have a look at the words in our word bank.

Small, the same, scared, ignore, excited, different, big, or support.

Where I've said the word blank in our paragraphs, that means that you need to have a look at our word bank and see which word fits in the gap.

Pause the video and we'll go through the completed paragraphs in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what your completed sentences should look like.

You should have, "There are small changes, like trying new foods and meeting new people, and big changes, like moving schools or getting a new family member.

Everyone has different feelings about change.

A change that makes us feel excited might make someone else feel worried or scared, so it's important to support our friends through change." Well done if you said that these words should fit in the gaps, and if you notice that the words the same and ignore shouldn't be used in our sentences.

It's time to move on to our second learning cycle, how can I handle change? Sometimes, if we feel worried or scared about change, we might think that the change is a bad thing.

Henry says that, "This isn't true.

Many types of change can be a really positive thing that we can grow and learn from.

Even if we feel worried or scared at first, some changes can end up making us happier than we were before." Aisha wants to share her story.

She says, "When I moved house, I did feel scared at first, but it turned out to be great.

I made friends with the children next door and I had more space to play outside." And Andeep says, "I was feeling worried when I transitioned to a new class, but my new teacher was really kind, and even though the work was a little bit harder, I knew I could ask for help." This shows how even if we feel worried or scared before a change happens, this doesn't mean that the change is a bad thing.

There could be lots to learn from and lots to be happy about too.

Sofia says, "I felt scared when I moved football clubs, but I learned that I'm much braver than I think.

I made lots of new friends and the trainings were so much fun.

I'm proud of myself for handling the change, even though it felt hard." Laura says, "I was worried about a new person joining our class, but I soon realised that I really liked helping them to settle in and feel comfortable.

I even volunteered to be their transition buddy." Well done, Laura.

This is a really great idea.

This helps the person who's new settle in to their new change.

Let's do another check for understanding.

This time I'd like you to decide is Lucas correct? Lucas says, "Even if I feel worried about a change, it can still be a good thing that helps us to learn and grow.

What do you think? Is Lucas correct? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that yes, Lucas is correct.

Even if we feel worried or scared before a change happens, it can still be a good thing and the change can help us to learn and grow.

Well done if you said the same thing.

There are ways that we can handle how change makes us feel, whether they're big changes or small changes.

We can talk to a trusted adult like a parent, carer, or teacher about how the change makes us feel.

Here, Aisha is talking to her mum, saying, "I feel worried about this change because.

." It's really important that we share how we feel if we're going through a change, especially if we're feeling worried or scared, just like Aisha is doing here.

Well done, Aisha.

We can also handle some types of change by thinking about the good things that could happen as a result of the change.

Jun wants to share his story.

He says, "When my family was thinking about moving house, I thought about how I could make new friends nearby, how I could decorate my new room, and how I'd be closer to my school friends too." This is a great idea, Jun.

By thinking about all the good things that could come from the change, Jun is showing that he's able to handle the change and think about it in a really positive way.

While done, Jun.

It's important to look after both our body and our mind when a change is happening to help us with the transition.

This means making healthy food choices, like eating fruits and vegetables, exercising regularly, especially by playing outside, and getting enough sleep so that we don't feel tired.

It's also important to do the things that we enjoy when we're going through a change.

Henry says, "Even adults can find it hard to go through change.

I spend time with my family and friends and play football when I'm going through a change, as this helps me to feel better.

Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing.

Can you decide which words are missing? Some types of change can be a really positive thing that we can grow and blank from.

We can talk to a blank, like a parent, carer, or teacher, about how change makes us feel.

Where I've said blank, can you decide which word is missing? Pause the video, tell the people around you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that the missing words were learn and trusted adult.

Our completed paragraph should now say, "Some types of change can be a really positive thing that we can grow and learn from.

We can talk to a trusted adult, like a parent, carer, or teacher, about how change makes us feel." Well done if you said that these words were missing and that you put them in the right place.

It's time to move on to our final practise task and you've done a brilliant job with this lesson so far.

Well done.

In this scenario, Poppy might be moving schools.

What are three ways in which Poppy could handle this change? What are three things that could help her? Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.

Okay, let's see what you might have said.

Because Poppy might be moving schools, there are different ways that she could handle this change.

She could talk to a trusted adult about how she feels, especially as this is quite a big change and she might have lots of different feelings and thoughts.

She could think about the good things that could happen as a result of the change.

For example, maybe making new friends and learning new things.

She could look after her body by making healthy food choices, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep, and she can look after her mind by doing things that she enjoys.

These things will all help her to handle this change.

Well done if you had any of these or if you had something similar.

We're now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.

You've done an amazing job with this lesson.

You've worked so hard and I'm so proud of you.

During this lesson, we've learned that change happens all the time, sometimes without us even realising.

We might try new foods or we might meet new people.

It can be difficult to handle change, especially if we don't know what to expect.

Maybe it's a change that we haven't been through before, like getting a new family member or moving house.

Change can make us feel lots of different emotions.

We can feel excited, happy, worried, or scared, and sometimes, we can feel more than one emotion at once.

Everyone can feel different emotions about different changes.

Some people might feel more excited and some people might feel more worried.

This is okay.

There are ways that we can handle change.

For example, we can talk to a trusted adult, like a teacher, parent, or carer, and we can think about the good things that could happen because of the change.

And we can look after our mind and body.

Remember, this can mean making healthy food choices, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.

And some types of change could help us to learn and grow, and we can actually be made really happy by different changes that happen in our lives.

In today's lesson, you might have found that you've got some worries or some questions.

If you do, it's really important that you share these with a trusted adult.

There's also some resources on the screen that are there to help you too.

Well done for your fantastic hard work in today's lesson.

I'm really proud of you, and I hope to see you in another lesson soon.
