Description

This unit teaches pupils about keeping teeth and bodies clean through good hygiene practices, understanding how germs spread and how to prevent illness, and knowing how to respond safely in an emergency including making an emergency call.

At Year 2, pupils are developing greater independence in managing their personal hygiene and health routines. This unit builds on their Year 1 learning and extends it to taking personal responsibility for hygiene and emergency responses. It teaches pupils hygiene practices to prevent illness, the importance of dental care and basic emergency procedures, including how to call for help. By exploring these concepts now, pupils develop essential habits and skills for maintaining their health and responding appropriately in emergencies.

  1. Keeping clean and healthy
  2. Emergencies

  • Pupils should know that keeping clean helps prevent the spread of germs and keeps their bodies healthy.
  • Pupils know that germs can make people ill and that simple actions, like using soap and water, can help stop this.
  • Pupils are beginning to recognise that taking care of their body, including visiting the dentist or doctor, helps them stay well and strong.
