Caring for living things - KS1 - Year 1

Caring for living things KS1 PSHE lesson.  A one-hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 1, however, the activities are also suitable for students in Year 2, and could easily be adapted for use with older students. In this lesson, the children will learn about the responsibilities associated with caring for living things. We will talk about 'needs' and reflect on the various things animals and plants must have if they are to survive.  The students will read Don't let them disappear by Chelsea Clinton, before completing a conservation poster activity linked to the text. The lesson includes a case study starter, a story with accompanying questions, a set of case studies, a conservation poster activity and a plenary task. This lesson would also serve as a useful resource to celebrate 'Earth Day'. Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets. The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
