Series Title: Exploring Empathy – Understanding Ourselves and Others

In Series 4, children take a deeper dive into empathy—learning to recognise emotions in others, show compassion, and think about different perspectives. Through rich stories and reflective practices, pupils begin to connect their own emotional world with those around them. This series nurtures social awareness and supports the development of kind, inclusive relationships in school and at home.
