Put PSHE in context this Children's Mental Health Week

Social and emotional learning is a vital part of the school curriculum. As a teacher, you want to help your pupils develop their PSHE skills in a safe environment. Beyond this, you want the lessons they learn to be unforgettable.

Using now>press>play, you can create active PSHE learning for your class through sound, story and movement. Over half of teachers say that now>press>play's Experiences develop children's ability to empathise with others, and our discussion-based follow-on resources can help you embed this social and emotional learning across the whole curriculum.
