Year 2 Unit 3 - Positive Friendships (Relationships Education)

Our spiral curriculum builds progressively year on year, culminating in this Year 2 unit on Positive Friendships. Pupils first encountered this topic in Reception when we read Duck and Penguin Are Not Friends by Julia Woolf. In this unit, we will explore this topic in greater detail. We will learn about making friends, the qualities we might look for in a friend, as well as the importance of sharing, listening and making up after any disagreements.  This topic is intended as a foundation for understanding positive friendships, which will be developed in greater depth in later years.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme.
