Today Your Child Learned…
Dear Parent & Guardian,
We are excited to share that your child has completed the following PSHE lesson. Check out our overview and top tips to support their development…
Today’s PSHE Lesson
Feeling Sad (How Sadness Can Help Us Help Ourselves)
We don’t tend to think about sadness helping us or being a positive emotion in any way when we’re feeling low. Thinking about how this emotion can actually improve our health and well-being is looking at it in a different light and we need to share this notion with children so that they can see how sadness may be helpful to us.
What We Covered In The PSHE Lesson
Here’s what we went through today…
- How sadness can give us a clue that all is not right with our lives and that we need to change something if we want to feel better.
How You Can Help From Home
Here’s what you can talk about during dinner…
- Talk to your child about the times when you’ve felt sad and what you’ve done to make yourself feel better.
Go Above & Beyond
Here are some other ideas to support your childs PSHE lessons…
- Share what sadness feels like together and think about the times when you may have felt sad.
- If we look at sadness in a positive way we might be able to see that it’s a way of telling us that we need to do or change something so that we begin to feel better.
- It may be a warning to us that we need to improve areas of our life.
- If your child feels sad about the loss of a loved one or pet for instance, talk about how this may be a way of telling them that they need to do something to remember them and the good times they spent together like talk about them with others who knew them or look at photos of them that make them feel happier.
- Seeing sadness as a signpost for change and reflection in our lives is how we can turn this negative emotion into a more positive experience.
When it comes to your child’s development, teachers and parents are better together! By aligning our goals and education techniques, we can better realise our vision of positively preparing your child for their future.

The pupils at our school are really enjoying the lifewise scheme. The scheme is very staff-friendly and easy to monitor. More staff are now teaching lifewise as a consequence and all the DfE statutory guidance (+more) is covered. The staff at lifewise are extremely professional. As it is a digital platform, lessons are constantly being up-dated and improved.

Lifewise is a fantastic tool to use. It is easy and clear to navigate and as well as in class we have used Lifewise during remote learning sessions, whilst in lockdown.
I would thoroughly recommend this 'wellbeing session' tool to any school. It is exceptional.

Lifewise was so helpful for my online ELSA sessions. The format gave the children the chance to express their emotions. They loved the quiz and enjoyed the conversation.
