Health and Wellbeing Learning and Experience
| Mental, Physical, Social and Emotional Wellbeing | Aims and Outcomes of Mind Marvels |
| I can explain the way in which physical and emotional changes are connected in different contexts, and I can monitor, review and adapt my behaviour to support my physical and emotional health, setting myself relevant targets. | Mind Marvels demonstrate what goes on inside the brain so children can gain the vital understanding of how different feelings occur, how our brains react to different emotions and how this can feel inside. |
| I can recognise the benefits of being able to focus attention on my perceptions and thoughts. I can self-regulate my emotions in a healthy way using strategies that I have developed. | Mind Marvels support children to learn about calming tools and how to use them when needed to develop optimum mental wellbeing. |
