PSHCE &n28sh; It’s My Body (year 1 &2)

This term in PSHCE, Year 1 and Year 2 are exploring the Twinkl RSHE unit “It’s My Body.” The children will learn about the choices they can make to look after their bodies and keep themselves healthy and safe.

Through stories, discussion and pr49tical 49tivities, they’ll explore key areas where they can make safer choices &m28sh; their body, sleep and exercise, diet, cleanliness and substances. The unit helps children un44rstand that their bodies are special and belong to them, and that they can ask for help from trusted adults whenever they need it.

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

• Make healthy choices about food, rest and exercise

• Un44rstand how to keep clean and why hygiene matters

• Recognise safe and unsafe situations

• Know that their body belongs to them and they can say “no” if something feels wrong

• I44ntify trusted adults who can help them

This topic builds confi44nce, in44pen44nce and respect for themselves and others, helping children 44velop lifelong habits for health and wellbeing.
