The Great Fire of London - Wellbeing and mindfulness lesson plan

The Great Fire of London has been studied by school children and scholars alike for almost over 350 years. The mistakes made and the devastation caused is a source of fascination. This lesson plan talks about the early events of the fire and teaches the children some useful wellbeing techniques as part of the story.

This lesson plan is age appropriate and includes relaxation techniques such as breathing techniques and simple yoga poses as well as basic mindfulness strategies.

Mindfulness and relaxation have been proven to increase children's concentration, create a calm atmosphere and even increase attainment. It is a wonderful addition to any setting. 

All my lesson plans are created for people with no prior knowledge of relaxation and mindfulness techniques and carefully go through every technique step by step. They also include a fun script for you to read through which incorporates all the techniques learned into an enjoyable, relaxing story which is completely age appropriate.

My lessons all come with child and teacher assessment sheets which are fully editable and enable you to show evidence for the progress and learning for each child.

This lesson is most suitable for KS2 (7-11 years).
