PSHE KS1 / KS2: Imagine – Future Thinkers with Rhys Stephenson

Hi, I'm Rhys and today I want you to think about what special people you might want to become when you're older.

But in order to do that we need to travel to the future.

Now this is going to be a fast and bumpy ride. So strap yourselves in, hold onto your steering wheel and let's time travel to the future.

Ready?

Let's go!

Oh, there goes your eleventh birthday!

First day at high school!

Now you're eighteen and getting ready to interview at your dream job!

In fact, let's slow down the flying time machine and stop here.

You know, the future might seem a long way away and a bit scary but it can also be really exciting to think about who we're going to be.

And we can dream big.

I'm so excited to be in the future with you all!

Let's imagine what special people we could be.

And make sure that you act out each role with me.

You could be a scientist installing a new piece of computer equipment onboard the international space station.

So, let's grab this giant computer chip, insert it in here, press some buttons, nice.

And get this giant cube, just insert it here and click.

Alright, it's all working.

Great space work.

But let's jump down to earth.

Now we are up back on earth being lifeguards, keeping swimmers at the beach safe.

So, grab your binoculars with me.

Let's see if anyone needs our help.

Is that a sinking puppy?

Not on our watch.

Quick, run to the beach!

Jump into the water!

Grab that puppy, swim back.

There you go puppy, be free.

What else could we do?

I know… from the sea to the sky.

You could be tower crane operator on a construction site, high up in the sky!

So let's just grab the machinery and pick up that rock.

And drop the rock.

There.

Oh, amazing.

Now, why don't you show us what your special future job could be.

While you're doing that I'm going to explore my future job which is a nurse and you can join in too ifyou're not quite sure what you want to be.

So, let's get our stethoscope and listen for that heartbeat.

Sounds pretty good.

Next let's check the patient's blood pressure.

Alright.

Finally let's give a little injection.

A plaster, good to go.

What an incredible future it's going to be and you all looked amazing.

So many talents and special jobs.

Sometimes it can feel like nothing changes and that we are always going to be doing and feeling like we do, but things can change and we can dream big!

I find thinking about the future really exciting.

So, can you say out loud: “I can dream big”.

Ready? Okay, let's do it together.

“I can dream big”.

You helped me to feel really excited for the future, and to know that we can be anyone we want to be.

See you again soon.

Bye!
