PSHE - belonging to a community
Year 2’s Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) assemblies in the Autumn term included the topic of ‘identity, society and democracy.’ During this unit, Year 2 explored what a community is. They considered the communities they belong to, how they contribute to these communities and the responsibilities they have within the different communities they are a part of.
The topic provided lots of opportunities for discussion and reflection, with the children thinking carefully about their communities and their roles within them. The children also thought about how they might support others within the different communities they identified. Ideas, such as supporting others with their learning, helping to keep the classrooms clean and demonstrating courage and respect, were ways in which Year Two felt they could support others.
In one PSHE assembly, the children recognised and shared some of the different communities they belong to. The children then designed a shield to show the range of communities which included their family, Talbot Primary School, swimming clubs, sport clubs, Brownies, Scouts, gymnastics and the religious communities they are part of.
It was wonderful to observe the discussions with the children where they respectfully questioned their peers to learn more about their different communities.
