This Pshe kindness comprehension year 5 core pack is perfectly aligned with the UK National Curriculum requirements for Personal, Social, Health and Economic education. It focuses on developing pupils’ ability to identify feelings, understand the perspective of others, and recognise how their choices affect the wellbeing of their peers. Teachers can use this versatile resource as a guided reading task, a starter activity for a circle time discussion, or as independent work to support social and emotional development.
