The Importance of Sleep - KS1/Year 2

The importance of sleep KS1 PSHE lesson.  A one-two hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 2, however, some of the activities may also suit younger KS1 students (Year 1) or lower ability students in KS2 (Year 3). In this lesson, the students will learn about the importance of sleep, and the health consequences of failing to get enough. The students will learn what happens to our bodies while we sleep, as well as learning some simple measures that can help us to fall asleep (bedtime routines) . The lesson includes a starter activity, a sorting task, a video clip with questions, a cut and paste activity, a bedtime routine themed literacy task and a reflection based plenary. 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.
