My Superpowers (Y3 PSHE)

This This engaging Year 3 PSHE lesson helps pupils recognise their strengths and explain how those strengths support them in school and in everyday life. Using a fun superhero theme, children explore the idea that everyone has different skills, and those skills can help both ourselves and other people.

Learning Objective: To be able to explain how your strengths help you at school and other areas of your life.

About The Ripple Project

The Ripple Project is more than a PSHE curriculum. It’s a mission.

A mission to help children grow into emotionally literate, self-regulated, and informed young people, with the knowledge and skills they need for personal, social, health, and economic life.

Here at RevEd, we believe children deserve more than surface-level lessons that rush through big topics. Our lessons are designed to go deeper, revisit themes over time through spiral learning, and help learners practise real-life skills in creative, practical ways that actually stick.
