Year 3 PSHE Lesson Plans

4 free Year 3 PSHE lesson plans for KS2. Each includes learning objectives, key vocabulary, a timed lesson structure and common misconceptions, and downloads as an editable Word document.

Year 3 marks the beginning of Key Stage 2, and pupils' PSHE education becomes more reflective and analytical. Pupils are now ready to explore the complexity of human relationships more critically, to think about how they present themselves online, and to consider their place in a broader, more diverse world. The six units across the year are designed to build resilience, empathy and a growing sense of personal agency.
