PSHE KS1 / KS2: Boost - Animal Safari with Bethany Shriever

Hop on board a safari jeep and transport yourself to the middle of a savannah as Olympic Gold Medallist Bethany Shriever guides pupils on a safari!

As part of the adventure, pupils will use movement and exercises to represent the various animals they come across and every so often take a break to recover.

During this break, pupils are encouraged to pause and take a rest so they can come back stronger for the next challenge.

This video can be used to help primary school children recognise the importance of taking time to pause and reflect to help them re-focus.

Teacher Notes

Teachers can use this activity when pupils might need a boost in energy to help them regain confidence and motivation to take part in everyday activities. This type of activity can open up possibilities to challenge ourselves and the focus we need to complete tasks successfully and pursue new interests.

We advise teachers and parents to review the Moodboosters video prior to showing it to children at school or home, and consider the activity鈥檚 suitability for space, accessibility requirements and how it may be received by pupils.

Teachers should ensure that the learning environment is safe and supportive for all pupils during viewing, especially when they are asked to share ideas, feelings and emotions.

Visit the Teacher Guide for more information and support.

Curriculum Notes

Moodboosters classroom resources can be used for teaching primary school pupils aged 5 -11 PSHE in England, Health and Wellbeing in Wales and Scotland, and PDMU in Northern Ireland, and to support with Ofsted, Estyn and Education Scotland requirements.
