Explore Wellbeing through Japanese Culture

(0)
These 6 lesson plans (with PPTs and activities) aim to promote positive mental and physical health and wellbeing to KS2 pupils through the exploration of Japanese culture. Following an introduction to wellbeing, pupils consider each of the NHS ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ (Connect, Be Active, Keep Learning, Take Notice and Give) and complete activities based on Japanese culture which promote physical health as well as emotional wellbeing (e.g. radio taiso exercises and mindfulness through manga drawing). By the end of the unit, students should be able to consider how each of the ways can improve wellbeing and will have learnt of some events, customs and celebrations in Japan. Prior knowledge of Japanese culture or language is not needed. An editable version of the PPTs are available on request - contact education@japansociety.org.uk. More resources related to Japanese culture are available from The Japan Society website.
