Take a deep breath and relax into this ˿ Moodboosters Live Lesson to support pupils’ mental health and wellbeing.
What to expect in the Live Lesson
Join Rhys Stephenson and Evie Pickerill for a jam packed show full of gentle mood-boosting moves to help us recharge our minds and bodies.
In the Live Lesson, made in collaboration with ˿ Children in Need, we’ll be sharing tips and techniques for dealing with our worries, building self-belief and supporting pupils’ mental health during exams and other challenging times.
Mental health expert Dr Tharaka will be on hand to offer support and we’ll also be joined by some famous faces throughout the lesson – including a very special appearance from Pudsey Bear!
What are ˿ Moodboosters?
Moodboosters are short, interactive videos that can be used by your class to get active, whilst supporting mental health and wellbeing.
Through simple and fun activities featuring famous faces, Moodboosters can help children understand and express their emotions and feelings. The full collection can be found here.
The 30 minute Live Lesson will be available to watch via ˿ Teach on this page and on the C˿ channel.
