Emotions, Permission and Boundaries - Year 3

Support Year 3 students to explain possible emotional responses using story details and to choose safe actions. Students compare experience, expectations and context, practise clear permission exchanges, and refine responses when an answer changes or remains unclear.

The eight core lessons teach and assess the required learning. Two optional lessons provide further comparison and phrase-guide practice. Each lesson has a planned 50-minute teacher route and a complete independent editable PowerPoint. The assessment occurs in Lesson 7; clarification and safe-help learning is consolidated in Lesson 8.

Learning focus

• Explain possible feelings with evidence from a fictional situation.
• Select and justify a safe strategy, recognising that one strategy may not resolve the whole situation.
• Ask about a specific action and communicate a clear, freely given choice.
• Accept no, allow time for an unclear answer and respect changed permission.
• Match respectful words with safe actions and manage disappointment separately.
• Seek appropriate adult support without investigating or forwarding a worrying message.

Classroom use

Use fictional characters, case cards, paper props or puppets. Students practise respectful responses without real borrowing, touching, photography, posting or online accounts. All students can use their usual communication supports, including drawing, speech, writing, dictation, selected symbols or a device. Guided examples and contextual extensions are included. The assessment judges understanding and action rather than handwriting, confidence or speaking style.

Teacher benefits

Separate lesson files support flexible pacing. Fictional cases keep discussion focused on contextual reasoning. Immediate paired answer pages support checking while preserving each worksheet’s layout. The practical assessment records both explanations and respectful actions. The optional lessons add useful practice while retaining a complete eight-lesson core.
