What you’ll learn
I can plan and follow a sociable walk in the local area and recognise the wellbeing benefits.
Key learning points
- Move: walking tall with your head up, back straight and shoulders relaxed but not slouched, ensures good posture.
- Think: identifying hazards and implementing appropriate control measures creates a safe environment in various contexts.
- Feel: deep and rhythmical breathing in sync with your steps helps to relieve stress and maintain energy and oxygen.
- Connect: collaboration enables us to plan a walking route with others which leads to a sense of shared adventure.
Words to know
- being present
- fully focusing on what you’re doing right now, without distractions
- active listening
- listening carefully, showing interest and responding in a way that shows you understand
- sharing scenery
- the natural features of a landscape, like hills, trees and views that make a place visually appealing
Common mistakes
Pupils may think that walking is boring and too easy.
Walking can be at different speeds, does not have to be boring and is a good opportunity to be present in the moment, which enhances positive mental health.
For parents, carers and teachers
- This lesson would be best delivered off site and out in nature. If this is not possible, aim to come up with a route around your school site as a suggested starting point for your students.
