Year 2 PSHE

Year 2 PSHE runs to 36 lessons across a 36 week year, for children aged 6 to 7 in Key Stage 1. Every lesson is listed below in teaching order.

The vocabulary a child meets this year includes character strength, values, courage, emotion, trigger, cause, empathy, perspective, comfort, argument, cool down, solution.

We wrote these lessons ourselves. Oak does not publish PSHE, so the sequence, the content and the checks are all ours.
