Foundation Stage Planning Sheet Week 1 Date:

Subject: Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning Theme: Emotions

Pupil Grouping(s), differentiation and support:

Objective: (taken from curriculum guidance for the foundation stage – stepping stones)

To express needs and feelings in appropriate ways

To show a range of feelings when appropriate

Intended Outcomes: Children will

· express a happy face

· make a happy face mask

· recognise photos of happy faces

Language used:

Happy, sad, excited, scared, mirror, feelings

Lesson Plan:

· Start the session by singing ‘If you’re happy and you know it’ (as in resources)

· Tell the children that you don’t know what actions to do for the feelings in the various verses – they do them, you follow.

· Adult sit in front of a mirror and repeat the little poem along with the appropriate emotional actions. Children take turns to look in mirror and everyone say the poem – child makes happy / sad/ excited / scared face. Everyone says what sort of face it is at appropriate time.

· All watch the ‘Animated show’ showing children with different emotions.

· Show the pictures from the ‘Animated show’ and ask about the emotions of the children in the pictures. Show sad or happy faces appropriately to the pictures.

· Take a photo of the children with a happy face.

· Talk about things that make you happy. Some children hold things, listen to things or see things which make them happy – look out for a response

· Explain that this week we are going to make masks showing happy faces, using paper plates.

· Show materials that will be used for making happy masks and those for making sad masks. Brighter coloured materials can be separated for happy, while darker colours are reserved for sad. Talk about how the children look when they are happy – look in mirrors and make a happy face. Look at the photos taken earlier (if possible) to discuss (or have some ready from before the session if there is no time to print them out.)

· Using paint or ready cut out features of the face – including mouths in different positions- make the happy face on the paper plate. If time stick wool or shredded paper for hair, then stiff card or other suitable material to hold the paper plate face.

· All come back together – children to hold their paper plate face and say (or an adult can say for them) something that makes them happy.

· Finish off the session by playing The Picnic Polka (on the resources CD) or another ‘happy’ tune
