Hello, my name is Miss Willow, and I'm going to be your teacher for today's lesson.
Today's lesson is called Our Emotions Toolkit: Different Feelings, 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 for this lesson, we recommend that you have an adult with you.
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 describe a range of emotions that humans can feel.
Before we get started with today's learning, 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 that are here to help us remember these ground rules.
First of all, we have our friend Laura.
Laura says that we need to Listen to others.
This means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.
Andeep says, We need to respect each other's privacy.
This means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.
Jacob says, No judgement ! This means if someone chooses to share a story, an experience, or a feeling, we're not going to judge them for it.
And Izzy says that We can choose our level of participation.
This means it's up to us how much we want to join in.
We are now going to go through the keywords for today's lesson.
These are gonna come up quite a few times in today's lesson, so it's really important that we have a good understanding of what each of these words mean.
First of all, we have the word emotions.
Emotions are feelings that we have inside, like happiness, sadness, or anger.
Next, we have information.
Information is facts about something or someone.
Next, we have strong, this is when something or someone has power or force.
And finally, our last keyword is experience.
Things that happen to us and how they make us feel.
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 different emotions are there? And our second learning cycle is called What do different emotions feel like? Let's make a start on our first learning cycle.
What different emotions are there? There are many different emotions.
First, we have happy.
Next we have sad.
And next we have angry.
Can you think of any other emotions? Maybe you want to tell the people around you? Tell me or have a think to yourself.
We can also feel enthusiastic, joyful, excited, calm, grateful, and proud.
We might feel these emotions when something good has happened or if our needs have been met, but we can also feel worried, disappointed, guilty, bored, upset, grumpy, frustrated, and annoyed.
We might feel these emotions when something bad has happened or if our needs haven't been met.
Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle so far.
Is this statement true or false? The only emotions are happy, sad, and angry.
What do you think? Is this true or false? 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, there are many different emotions.
For example, excited, proud, worried, and frustrated.
Well done if you said this or something similar.
Emotions give us information about ourselves.
Andeep says, "I'm happy when I'm around friends, but feel sad if I haven't seen them in ages.
This tells me that friendships are valuable to me." Aisha says, "I feel proud when I do well in my schoolwork.
This helps me to know that working hard is important to me." Lucas says, "I feel guilty when I hurt a friend's feelings.
This helps me to know that friendships are important to me." Our emotions also give us information about what our body needs.
Jun says, "I feel grumpy towards lunchtime usually because I'm hungry.
Sometimes I just need a snack to help me to feel calm and happy again." By feeling grumpy, Jun's body is giving him information that he might need to have a snack because he's feeling hungry.
Maybe you felt something similar before.
Laura says, "If I don't sleep enough, I feel more sensitive the next day.
I might get sad and cross about things that I don't usually.
These emotions tell me that I need to get more sleep." When Laura feels sensitive, this is her body's way of giving her some information that she might need to get some more sleep because she's feeling tired.
Maybe you felt something like this too.
Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing.
I'd like you to fill in the blank in this sentence.
Our emotions give us information about what our blank needs.
For example, food or sleep, which word is missing? Can you tell the person next to you? Tell me or have a think to yourself.
Well done if you said that the missing word is body.
Our full sentence should now say, our emotions give us information about what our body needs.
For example, food or sleep.
Remember, Jun felt grumpy because his body needed food and Laura felt more sensitive because her body needed sleep.
This shows us how our emotions can give us information about what our body needs.
Well done if you got this right.
Emotions can also give us information about the world around us.
Alex says, "If I feel confused when I'm learning something new in maths, this means that I need some help." And Sofia says, "If I feel excited about spending time with someone new, this means that I could make a new friend." Jacob says, "If I feel worried when playing on the play equipment, this means that I need to be careful so that I don't get hurt." And Sam says, "I feel angry when I've seen someone be unkind on the playground.
This tells me that something unfair has happened." These are all different ways that our emotions can give us information about the world around us and what's happening.
It's important to listen to our emotions because they're often trying to tell us something.
Sam says, "Because I felt angry about the unkindness that I'd seen on the playground, I knew that I should tell my teacher about what had happened.
This meant that they were able to help." Well done, Sam, because you've listened to your emotions, you were able to get some help because someone had been unkind to someone else.
Let's do another check for understanding.
Can you decide, what might Lucas' emotions be trying to tell him? Lucas says, "I feel sad whenever I spend time with a friend who's unkind to me." What could his emotions be tried to tell him? Can you decide? Pause the video.
Tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.
You might have said that Lucas' emotions might be trying to tell him that his friend is not a good friend and that he shouldn't spend time with them because they make him feel sad.
Well done if you said this or something similar.
It's time to put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.
Well done if your hard work so far.
Keep it up.
For the first part of this task, I'd like you to tell the person next to you at least two emotions that each of these characters could be feeling.
Pause the video and we'll go through what you might have said in a few minutes.
You might have said that this character here could be feeling sad, upset, guilty, or bored.
Maybe you said that this character here could be feeling happy, excited, enthusiastic, joyful, calm, grateful, and proud.
Maybe you said that this character could be feeling angry, frustrated, grumpy, or annoyed.
Well done if you had this or something similar.
For the next part of this task, I'd like you to draw your own character and write down at least two emotions that they could be feeling.
Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.
Okay, let's see what you might have said.
Your answer could look like this.
Maybe your drawing looks a little bit like this and you said that they could feel worried, upset, concerned or afraid.
There were lots of different potential answers for this one, so well done if you had something similar.
It is time to move on to our second learning cycle.
What do different emotions feel like? We can feel our emotions in different strengths.
We might feel a little bit happy if everything is okay and there's nothing making us unhappy.
We could feel smiley, warm inside like our body is calm.
Other times we might feel really happy.
Something exciting might have happened or we've had some great news.
These feelings of happiness might be strong and remember, strong was one of our keywords from earlier.
Did you spot it? We might feel full of smiles like we've got excited butterflies in our tummy and like we have lots of energy.
We can also feel a little bit sad or worried from time to time.
Something sad might have happened or we might have had some worrying news.
We might feel that we want to be a bit quiet like we've got nervous butterflies in our tummy or like we want to cry.
Sometimes you might have really strong feelings of sadness, worry or anger.
Something might have happened that makes us feel quite overwhelmed with different emotions.
For example, if we feel like something is very unfair, we might feel really hot.
It might feel like it's hard to control our body or our tummy might feel tight or twisted.
We could also feel like we want to cry because we have so many strong feelings.
For this check for understanding, I'd like you to decide who do you think feels strong happiness? Is it Lucas? Lucas says, "I feel relaxed and smiley.
My body feels warm and I'm breathing calmly." Or Sam.
Sam says, "I feel so full of smiles.
My tummy feels fluttery and I want to jump around." Who do you think feels strong happiness? Can you decide? Maybe you want to talk to the people around you? Tell me or have a think to yourself.
Well done if you said that Sam is experiencing strong happiness, she feels full of smiles.
Her tummy feels fluttery and she wants to jump around.
These all suggest that she feels happiness really strongly.
Well done if you said the same thing.
Jun and Izzy both feel worried.
Will being worried feel the same for both of them? What do you think? You might want to pause the video.
Tell the people around you.
Tell me or have a think to yourself.
Will being worried for the same for both of them? Well done if you said no.
The way different people experience emotions can vary, so even though both Jun and Izzy feel worried, they might feel these emotions in a different way.
Jun says, "When I feel worried, I feel sick and my heart beats really fast.
I also feel like I'm going to cry." Izzy says, "When I feel worried, I feel my body get cold, but sweaty too.
I become grumpy too." Our emotions can also change quickly and many times over a day.
We could start off feeling happy, then sad.
Then we might feel excited and joyful.
We might then feel angry and then bored and then calm.
Our emotions can change really quickly throughout the day and we can feel lots of different emotions in one day.
We can also feel the same emotions differently depending on what has made us feel that way and any other facts about our day.
Aisha says, "Sometimes I feel sad and want to cry.
Other times when I'm sad I don't cry, but I want to be alone.
I might raise my voice occasionally if I feel like no one's listening to me." This shows how Aisha is experiencing the same emotion or feeling sad, but she's feeling it in slightly different ways.
Sometimes she wants to cry.
Other times she just wants to be alone, but both times she's feeling sad.
However, we feel there are always ways that we can manage our emotions and people who we can ask for help.
We can do the things that we love.
We can talk to a trusted adult like a parent, carer or teacher.
These are all things that we can do to manage our emotions.
Let's do another check for understanding.
This time I'd like you to decide, is Alex correct? Alex says, emotions always feel the same way.
Everyone's tummy feels funny when they're worried.
What do you think? Is Alex correct? Pause the video.
Tell the people around you.
Tell me or have a think to yourself.
Well done if you said no, Alex is not correct.
But why? You might have said that everyone experiences emotions differently.
Some people might feel different in their body when they feel worried.
For example, they could feel cold and sweaty.
Well done if you said this or something similar.
It is time to move on to our second practise task and you've done a brilliant job so far.
Well done.
Can you explain how each character could experience each emotion? Our first character says, I feel excited.
Our second character says, I feel worried.
And our third character says, I feel angry.
How could each of these characters experience each emotion? What do you think? Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.
Okay, let's see what you might have said.
For the character who feels excited, you might have said that they might be full of smiles.
They could feel like they've got excited butterflies in their tummy and they could feel like they've got lots of energy.
For our worried character, they might feel quite quiet like they've got nervous butterflies in their tummy, like they want to cry, like their heart is beating fast and they could feel sick, cold or sweaty.
And for angry character they might feel hot, like it's hard to control their body like their tummy is tight or twisted or like they want to cry.
Well done if you had any of these or if you had something similar.
We are now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.
In today's lesson, we've learned that there are lots of different emotions and ways to describe how we feel.
Emotions are important because they can give us information to help us understand ourselves and the world around us.
We can feel emotions in different strengths and everyone experiences emotions differently.
Even if they feel the same emotion, they could experience it differently.
Some emotions can feel quite strong.
For example, happiness, anger, or sadness.
It's also typical for our emotions to change quickly and many times over a day.
We can also ask a trusted adult, like a teacher, parent or carer for help with our emotions.
During this lesson, we've talked about some tricky topics and you might find that you've got some worries or some questions.
It's really important that you share these with a trusted adult.
There's also some organisations 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.
