Happiness Thoughtfulness Sadness Hope Remembrance Why?

Year 4 - PSHE - Needs and Wants. In this lesson the class will learn about the difference between needs and wants. I recommend using a circle time to discuss how there are things in life that we cannot do without (air, food, shelter etc) and there are those things in life we want (Xbox, Macdonalds etc). 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.

This activity surrounds the 4Rs in the Learning to Learn. Resilience, reciprocity, resourcefulness and reflectiveness. There are 4 worksheets, each with a many in the middle and bubbles around the outside for children to write down how they can be like that man.
