Blob PSHE: A Blob School Resource

Divided into three distinct sections, the book covers wellbeing, relationships and the wider world. Each section begins with an overview of the PSHE curriculum and demonstrates how the topics covered map onto the PSHE framework in Key Stages 1, 2 and 3 to support statutory learning. Practitioners will benefit from discussion prompts, thought starters and lists of questions to help them integrate the Blobs into their teaching and use them effectively within the classroom.

An essential resource for teachers in primary and secondary education, this is the perfect addition to any PSHE toolkit. Worksheets and PDFs are available electronically for download and projection, supporting successful PSHE teaching and learning.

Pip Wilson was a pioneering youth worker, author and communicator. For many years he ran a youth club and community centre in one of the most deprived areas of London. Here he worked with young people, many of which were caught up in gangs. During this period, Pip realised the importance of managing his own feelings, so he was in a better position to help others. It was this insight that set the foundations for what would eventually become “Blob Tree”.

As well as being an author of more than 50 books, Pip was a charity CEO for more than 20 years, working internationally, running workshops and courses in leadership and teamwork with emotional intelligence at the heart of his work. In later life he continued  to share his “Pipology” mentoring many and running training courses for universities, businesses and charity’s all over the world.  He was driven by his work , passionate about encouraging people to not only love one another but to also love themselves and believed everyone was a “Beautiful Human Person”.

Pip died in 2023, leaving a wonderful legacy. The influence and impact of his ground breaking work continues to inspire people across the world. Pip’s family are now working closely with Ian and Blob Tree.
