Year 2 take part in weekly PSHE lessons which looks at all aspects of personal , social and health related matters. As well as using the Ten Ten resources in school, we celebrate national mental health days and use books for topics of discussion to further the children’s understanding.
Recently we celebrated Hello Yellow to show that we are not alone in with our mental health struggles and it is always good to talk and share any concerns. We read related books and had whole class discussions followed by some worksheet activities and games. The children wore yellow to support this cause.
We have also read the the story of Our Class in a Family, by Shannon Olsen . This helped the children to understand that we are all different and unique and we should always celebrate and be proud of this.
