PSHE KS1 / KS2: Moodboosters - Connect

Discover Moodboosters videos and resources about the importance of connecting with others. These fun, movement-based classroom activities centre on relationships and how pupils can recognise emotions in others through empathy. Feeling connected to the people and places around us is an important part of what it means to be human. Making and strengthening connections with others offers stability and safety in our lives and can help us deal with change and to recognise when it’s necessary, temporary or more permanent.
