Year 1 PSHE Lesson Plans
4 free Year 1 PSHE lesson plans for KS1. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.
Year 1 PSHE lays the essential personal, social and emotional foundations for all future learning. Pupils begin to develop a language for their feelings, understand what makes them safe and healthy, and build an appreciation of the different families and communities they belong to. These earliest years are crucial: children who can name and manage their emotions, recognise trusted adults, and understand basic rules of safety are far better placed to thrive both in school and beyond.
