PSHE KS2: The Brain Lab
A collection of short films on mindset and mindfulness. Five of the films introduce us to one of the five steps to wellbeing, with the sixth film - 'The Brain House' - using animation to look at what is happening inside our brain when we feel 'big' emotions.
You'll also find below a video guide for teachers, which introduces the concept of mindsets and mindfulness and suggests ways the films can be used in class.
The films explore the five steps to wellbeing:
Connect with others
Be active
Give to others
Take notice
Keep learning
These short films are suitable for teaching PSHE at KS2 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2nd Level in Scotland.
