Fascinating Fact:

You might feel excited when something good is going to happen. You might feel nervous before trying something new.

In KS1 PSHE, pupils learn that emotions are normal and everyone feels them. Children can practise naming feelings, noticing body clues, and using kind, safe actions to cope. Talking to a trusted adult can help when a feeling is too big or hard to manage alone.

Key Terms

Excited: A happy feeling when you are looking forward to something.
Nervous: A worried feeling, often before doing something new.
Body clue: A sign in your body that shows a feeling, like sweaty hands or a tight tummy.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does nervous mean for KS1?

Nervous means you feel worried or unsure, often before something new. You might feel shaky, quiet, or get a wobbly tummy, and that can be normal.

How can I calm down when I feel nervous?

You can take slow breaths, count slowly, or squeeze a soft toy. You can also tell a trusted adult what you are thinking so they can help you.

Why do my feelings change so quickly?

Feelings can change quickly because different things happen during the day. Something might make you happy, then another moment might make you worried, and both are normal.
