Year 4 - PSHE - Needs and Wants. In this lesson the class will learn about the difference between needs and wants.

This worksheet then provides a table for children to write down a list of needs and wants, and then reflect on the difference between the two. This is a perfect opportunity to assess whether they have truly understood.
