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
• BOYS (MALES)• GIRLS (FEMALES)• This is called our
GENDER (or our SEX)
• Eg. The sex of the baby is male or female
• When the world was created, God put two types of people on the earth
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
