The Developing Emotions programme, designed by members of the Living With Feeling team, is now being trialled in eight partner schools in the TKAT multi-academy trust.

Developing Emotions aims to increase primary schoolchildren’s emotional vocabularies through an engagement with the history of emotions, art, philosophy, science and literature. Over the course of the six units, children will learn new emotions words, such as melancholy and ira, and encounter a rich array of historical resources. Two versions of the programme have been created – one for year 3 pupils, and one for year 5 pupils.
