Year 4 - PSHE - Needs and Wants. In this lesson the class will learn about the difference between needs and wants. I recommend using a circle time to discuss how there are things in life that we cannot do without (air, food, shelter etc) and there are those things in life we want (Xbox, Macdonalds etc). This worksheet then provides a table for children to write down a list of needs and wants, and then reflect on the difference between the two. This is a perfect opportunity to assess whether they have truly understood.

Where is it celebrated? How do people celebrate it? What do I need to join in the celebration? When is it celebrated? What feelings are felt during this celebration? Happiness Thoughtfulness Sadness Hope Remembrance Why?
