God made me. I am loved. I can love. Year 2 God made me. I am loved. I can love.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES? God made each of us We were all made in God’s image Although we are all different, God loves each of us more than we can understand God wants us to understand the gift of life given to us God wants us to understand and love the body as a gift
WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT We are all different heights Our height continues to change as we grow
We are all different weights… This doesn’t matter to God God still loves us!
We look different… What we look like doesn’t matter to God
We can all do different things… God loves us no matter what we can do
Some of us are stronger than others… God still loves us the same!
WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT When the world was created, God put two types of people on the earth BOYS (MALES) GIRLS (FEMALES) This is called our GENDER (or our SEX) Eg. The sex of the baby is male or female
GOD LOVES BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS EQUALLY
BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS LOOK SIMILAR IN SOME WAYS, DIFFERENT IN OTHERS How do boys and girls look different in the way they dress?
HOW DO GIRLS’ BODIES LOOK DIFFERENT FROM BOYS’ BODIES What is different?
WORDS WE SHOULD KNOW, WORDS WE SHOULD USE… It is important to call things by their real name Breasts Penis/Testicles Vagina Bottom (everybody’s got one!)
OUR BODIES ARE OUR GIFTS FROM GOD… Our bodies are our own We should love and look after our bodies by eating good food, exercising and getting a good night’s sleep
WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO TOUCH OUR BODIES… Because our bodies are our gift given to us from God, we can choose who can touch them No one has the right to touch us in places we don’t allow them Our bodies are a gift, others should respect our gift!
REMEMBER… God loves you because you are special Boys and girls are different but God loves them the same We should use the correct names for our body parts No one has the right to touch our body if we don’t let them
