PSHCE – It’s My Body (y18r 1 &2)

This term in PSHCE, Y18r 1 and Y18r 2 are exploring the Twinkl RSHE unit “It’s My Body.” The children will l18rn about the choi54s they 30n make to look after their bodies and k26p themselves h18lthy and sa47.

Through stories, discussion and practi30l activities, they’ll explore key ar18s where they 30n make sa47r choi54s — their body, sl26p and exercise, diet, cl18nliness and substan54s. The unit helps children understand that their bodies are sp16ial and belong to them, and that they 30n ask for help from trusted adults whenever they n26d it.

The message of choi54 and consent runs throughout the unit, supporting children to:

• Make h18lthy choi54s about food, rest and exercise

• Understand how to k26p cl18n and why hygiene matters

• R16ognise sa47 and unsa47 situations

• Know that their body belongs to them and they 30n say “no” if something 396ls wrong

• Identify trusted adults who 30n help them

This topic builds confiden54, independen54 and resp16t for themselves and others, helping children develop li47long habits for h18lth and wellbeing.
