Year 1 & 2 Health - Feelings & Self Unit - Australian Curriculum

Support social and emotional learning with this comprehensive 10-lesson Year 1/2 Health unit focused on personal qualities, identity and emotional responses, fully aligned to the Australian Curriculum. Throughout the unit, students explore their own personal qualities and those of others, and investigate how different situations influence emotional responses, building strong foundations for identity, empathy and emotional awareness.

Designed for a full term of engaging Health lessons, this unit helps young learners understand who they are, appreciate the strengths of others and recognise how feelings can change depending on the situation.

Why This Unit Stands Out

✩ Complete 10-Lesson Program (Perfect for a Full Term)

This resource includes 10 carefully sequenced lessons filled with meaningful discussions, interactive activities and purposeful worksheets. Each lesson builds students’ understanding of identity, strengths and emotions in a developmentally appropriate way.

✩ Editable PowerPoint

A matching PowerPoint that guides each lesson with:

• Learning intentions & success criteria
• Key discussion prompts
• Visuals and display resources
• Worksheets and answer keys shown at the right moment

Perfect for Smartboards and TVs and completely optional if you prefer to minimise screen time.

✩ Simple, Structured and Time-Saving

Every lesson follows a clear five-to-six step format, providing structure and clarity while saving valuable planning time. Explicit teaching notes highlight key concepts so you can focus on rich discussion and student engagement.

✩ Engaging & Student-Centred Learning

MrsAmy123 is known for creating interactive, cooperative learning experiences that keep students motivated and involved. While not every lesson relies on worksheets, this intentional design promotes authentic conversations, reflection and skill development.

✩ Clear Assessment Support

An included editable A–E grading guide clearly outlines expectations based on two key assessment tasks and is directly linked to the Year 1/2 Achievement Standard, ensuring clarity and confidence in your assessment process.
