Year 2 have started their second Jigsaw piece in PSHE –  “Celebrating Differences”.

Our main learning objectives this term will be:-

• Understanding that sometimes people make assumptions (stereotypes) about boys and girls.
• Understanding that its okay to be different from other people.
• Explaining some ways that we are different.
• Understanding that bullying is sometimes about difference.

This week we looked at assumptions about boys and girls (stereotypes) and some ways in which we are all similar and to feel good about this.

All the children self-selected a partner and chatted to find out four things that they have in common or are similar … we spoke about eye/hair colour, hobbies, things they like doing, favourite foods, things they are good at, similarities in their families, etc.

The children enjoyed finding out things about each other, each others likes and dislikes and we’re excited to discover some of their similarities.

Then, they recorded these in their books, along with a ‘we are special because…’ sentence.
