Hello, my name is Ms. Willow, and I'm so excited to be your teacher for today's lesson.

Today's lesson is called "Things that affect how we feel," 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 our emotions and feeling 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 identify what affects how you 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've got some friends to help us to remember our ground rules.

First of all, we have Laura.

Laura tells us that we need to listen to others.

This means that if someone else is speaking, we are not going to interrupt them.

Next, we have Andeep.

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

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

Jacob tells us no judgement.

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

And finally, our friend Izzy tells us that we can choose our level of participation.

This means it's up to us how much we want to join in with today's lesson.

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

These are gonna come up multiple times throughout 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 the feelings that we have inside, like happiness, sadness, or anger.

Next, we have tired.

This is when your body feels sleepy and needs rest, like when you want to go to bed or take a nap.

Next, we have hungry.

This means when your stomach feels empty and you want to eat food.

It's when your body is telling you that it needs food to give you energy.

And finally, we have the word worried.

This means feeling scared or nervous about something that 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 might affect how I feel?" And our second learning cycle is called, "How can I tell what is affecting my emotions?" Let's make a start on our first learning cycle.

What might affect how I feel? Our emotions can be affected by lots of different things.

It's affected by what goes on around us.

For example, the people around us, what we're doing, and where we are.

How we feel can also be affected by what our body needs.

Being tired can affect how we feel.

We can feel tired if we don't get enough good sleep.

Listening to our body can help us to understand what we might be feeling.

If we feel tired, we might feel like our eyes are heavy, we might start to yawn, and we can find it difficult to concentrate, this means to focus on what we're doing.

We might start to feel grumpy and irritable, we might feel more tearful and want to cry, and we might feel more sensitive, this means that the things that normally wouldn't bother us start to affect us.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're doing so far.

Can you decide why might Alex feel grumpy? Alex says, "I keep getting angry at my friends and crying over things I normally wouldn't.

Last night, I went to bed really late and I kept waking up in the night." Can you decide why Alex might feel grumpy? You might want to tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Alex might feel grumpy because he feels tired.

He went to bed late and he didn't have a good night's sleep.

He didn't get enough good sleep, which means that he feels tired the next day.

We can see that Alex feels tired because he keeps getting upset over things that he normally wouldn't.

He keeps getting angry.

And he went to bed late and he kept waking up in the night.

Well done if you said the same thing.

Being hungry can also affect how we feel.

We need to eat enough food to keep our body healthy and working.

When we eat enough food, our emotions are more likely to be stable.

The word stable means that they stay the same for a longer period of time.

When we feel hungry and we don't eat enough food, our emotions can be unstable.

This means that they can change quickly.

If we feel hungry, we might hear or feel our stomach grumbling.

Have you ever felt this before? We might feel like our stomach is tight.

We might start to feel a bit sick and we might find it difficult to concentrate.

We could also feel grumpy or irritable.

Even if we eat enough food, our emotions can still change.

We can still experience tricky feelings, like feeling sad or worried.

However, if we feel hungry, we are more likely to feel grumpy and irritable.

We are more likely to feel tearful and upset.

And we might be more sensitive to the things happening around us.

So remember, this means that things that normally wouldn't affect us start to affect us because we feel hungry.

Our emotions are more unstable.

Laura says, "I make sure to eat a snack at breaktime and eat all my lunch because I know that I get grumpy when I feel hungry.

When I'm hungry, I struggle to concentrate.

I'm more likely to argue with my friends and I can get tearful." Laura is doing a really great job because she knows that she tends to feel tearful when she's hungry.

She's making sure that she eats plenty of good food to make sure that her emotions stay stable.

Well done, Laura.

Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

What could Andeep do to change how he feels? Andeep says, "I left the house this morning without eating my breakfast, and now it feels like my friends are annoying me.

I'm also finding my classwork tricky." What could Andeep do to change how he feels? You might want to tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Andeep could be hungry, so he needs to eat some food.

He could choose to have a healthy snack, like a piece of fruit, to keep his body healthy.

We know that Andeep is likely to be feeling hungry because he didn't have any breakfast in the morning, and now he's feeling sensitive and irritable to the people around him.

He says that it feels like his friends are annoying him and his classwork is tricky, and this could be because he's finding it difficult to concentrate.

Well done if you said that this could be because Andeep is hungry.

Let's move on to our first practise task and you are doing a brilliant job so far.

Well done.

For this task, I'd like you to identify two things that may be affecting how Sofia feels.

Sofia says, "I didn't eat much at lunchtime because I wanted to have more time to play with my friends.

Afterwards, I couldn't focus and I got upset with my best friend.

I also struggled to get to sleep last night and I woke up early." Can you identify the two things that could be affecting how Sofia feels? Pause the video and we'll go through some potential answers in a few minutes.

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

You might have identified the two things that could be affecting how Sofia feels as the fact that she didn't eat much at lunchtime and she also struggled to get to sleep last night, and she woke up early.

It's likely that Sofia feels hungry and tired, as she hasn't eaten much at lunchtime and she didn't get enough good sleep last night.

She struggled to get to sleep and she woke up early.

Being hungry and being tired could be affecting how Sofia feels.

Well done if you said the same thing or if you said something similar.

It's time to move on to our second learning cycle and you've done a brilliant job so far.

Well done.

Our next learning cycle is called, "How can I tell what is affecting my emotions?" I'd like you to have a think about what Lucas says.

Lucas says, "The same things affect our emotions in the same way.

We will always react to the same situation in the same way." What do you think about what Lucas says? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

You might have said that Lucas is incorrect.

Our emotions are often affected by more than one thing, which means that we may react differently to the same thing at different times.

For example, what doesn't upset us on one day may upset us on another.

Aisha wants to share her story.

Aisha says, "Yesterday, my friend said she didn't want to play the same game as me.

Normally, this feels okay.

However, yesterday I didn't eat breakfast and someone in our class had laughed at me.

I got really upset and I shouted at my friend." Let's have a closer look at Aisha's feelings and why she might be feeling this way.

Aisha's emotions were affected by more than one thing.

Firstly, she didn't eat breakfast so she was hungry, and this would affect how she feels.

She also had someone in her class laugh at her, so she already felt sad or upset.

This meant that when her friend said she didn't want to play the same game as her, she reacted differently to the way she normally would.

Here we have a tricky emotions volcano.

We can imagine our tricky emotions as a bit like a volcano.

For Aisha's story, we can put not eating breakfast and feeling hungry at the bottom of the volcano.

Then, she was laughed at in class.

This added some lava to the volcano.

And finally, Aisha's friend not wanting to play the same game as her added more lava to the volcano.

This meant that her emotions came out over the top and they felt difficult to manage.

Let's do another check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? The same things affect our emotions in the same way.

What do you think? Pause the video.

Tell the person 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 our emotions are often affected by more than one thing, which means that we may react differently to the same things at different times.

Think back to Aisha's story and our tricky emotions volcano.

Sometimes little things can build up inside us, and this means that when something else happens, it feels like our emotions are more difficult to handle, and we might react in a way that we normally wouldn't.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

The people around us can also affect how we feel.

Sofia shares her story.

Sofia says, "When someone in class took my favourite pen without asking, my heart started beating fast and my face felt hot." Sofia says, "I stopped, took a breath, and thought about how my body was feeling and why I felt like this.

I realised that I felt angry and upset." By taking a deep breath and thinking about how her body felt, Sofia was able to understand that she felt angry and upset.

It's really important that we listen to what our body is telling us so that we can respond to our emotions.

Sofia says, "I knew that I felt angry and upset, so I took some deep breaths before I calmly asked for my pen back." Well done, Sofia.

By having a think and listening to what your body was telling you, you were able to realise that you felt angry and upset.

You were able to calm down and ask for your pen back.

Well done.

Now, Andeep wants to share his story.

Andeep says, "My friend said that he would play with me at breaktime, but when I saw him, he was playing with someone else.

I felt a lump in my throat and I wanted to cry." This is a really tricky feeling for Andeep.

The way Andeep felt was affected by his friends changing his mind and not playing with him as promised.

Andeep started to feel upset and he might have felt lonely too.

When we feel lonely, we are sad about being by ourselves and feeling like we don't have someone to talk to or play with.

However, people can also affect how we feel in a good way and they can help us to manage our feelings, especially if they're feeling tricky.

Here we have Robyn and her dad.

Robyn says, "When I feel overwhelmed or upset, I talk to my dad.

He tells me to take some deep breaths and then we come up with a plan to help me feel better.

Talking to my trusted adults helps me to feel calm and happy." Your trusted adults might be your parents and carers, or family at home, and they could also be some staff at school like a teacher or a teacher's assistant.

Good friends can also help us to feel calm and happy too.

Let's do a check for understanding.

Can you remember who can help us to manage our feelings? Pause the video.

Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that trusted adults and good friends can help us to manage our feelings.

You might want to have a little think now.

Who are the trusted adults that you could go to to help you to manage your feelings? Okay.

Our feelings can also change depending on what's happening around us.

We might move house or move schools, or our family could change in some way.

Changes can affect how we respond to everyday situations, especially if we feel worried about the change.

Izzy wants to share her story.

Izzy says, "When I found out that we were moving house, it was hard to focus in school and I got upset at small things, like not being picked for someone's team in PE.

When I spoke to my teacher, I realised that I was feeling worried about moving." It can be quite hard to tell if we are worried.

We might feel worried if we're going through a big change, for example, moving house, moving schools, or maybe our family has changed in some way.

We might feel worried if we have a funny feeling in our tummy.

These might feel a little bit like butterflies.

And we could also feel worried if we keep thinking about something in the future, and it could be hard to think of something else.

It's really important that we talk to a trusted adult if we think that we feel worried or if we feel like we need some help to manage our feelings.

Let's do another check for understanding to see how you're doing with this learning cycle.

I'd like you to have a look and see what might be affecting how Jun feels.

Jun says, "Yesterday, my granny had to go to hospital.

Now I'm at school, I keep getting upset and getting cross with my friends.

My tummy feels funny too." What might be affecting how Jun feels? Can you pause the video? Tell the person next to you, tell me, or have a think to yourself.

You might have said that Jun is feeling worried about his granny who had to go to hospital.

We can tell that Jun might be feeling worried because he keeps getting upset, he gets crossed with his friends, and his tummy feels funny too.

These are all signs that we might be feeling worried.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

It's time to move on to the first part of our practise task and you're doing a fantastic job so far.

Well done.

For the first part of this task, I'd like you to give Sam three examples of what can affect someone's emotions.

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

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

Here are some examples of what can affect someone's emotions.

What our body needs, for example, sleep and food.

If we don't have enough sleep or food, we can start to feel tired and hungry, and this can affect our emotions.

Other people can also affect our emotions.

What happens around us, for example, big changes like moving house or schools, or changes in our family.

And also, worrying about something that might happen in the future.

This can affect our emotions too.

Well done if you had any of these.

For the second part of this task, I'd like you to look at each situation.

For each example, I'd like you to identify what might be affecting the person's emotions.

You can look back at your list from the first part of this task to help you.

Here's our first scenario.

"My little brother broke my favourite toy car while I was in school.

When I saw it in pieces, I felt angry and upset." And our second scenario is, "I didn't have a drink at breaktime.

My throat felt dry and scratchy, and I felt grumpy and couldn't concentrate." Can you decide what might be affecting each person's emotions? 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 our first scenario, "My little brother broke my favourite toy car while I was at school.

When I saw it in pieces, I felt angry and upset." You might have said that another person, so the person's younger brother has made them feel angry and upset because they broke their favourite toy.

In second scenario, "I didn't have a drink at breaktime.

My throat felt dry and scratchy afterwards, and I felt grumpy and couldn't concentrate." In this scenario, not having what our body needs, in this case, water, has made this person feel grumpy and unable to concentrate.

Well done if you said this or something similar.

You've done a fantastic job with today's lesson.

We are now going to summarise the key things that we've learned in today's lesson.

In today's lesson, we've learned that what our body needs, for example, food and sleep, can affect our emotions.

When we feel hungry and tired, this can make us feel grumpy and upset.

It's important to listen to our bodies to help us understand how we might be feeling.

The people around us, like friends and trusted adults, can affect how we feel.

Our feelings can also change depending on what's happening around us, like big changes, which can make us feel worried.

And the same things can affect our emotions in different ways because our emotions are often affected by more than one thing.

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

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