My Body: Names of Parts of the Body and their Functions
My Body: Names of Parts of the Body and their Functions
The children are working on the topic of my body. They will be learning about how their body changes with puberty. The learning activities will help the child build a positive relationship with their body. They will also learn the correct names for male and female genitals and learn about the reproductive organs, so that we can learn in later lessons about how babies are made, pregnancy and birth.
The words that the children will learn in the first lesson are these, and they are described as follows:
We use these terms because they help to remove any embarrassment or shame when talking about these body parts. Also, knowing these words means that children can explain clearly if they are unwell or have a worry. Knowing these terms help to protect children because they also learn that these parts of the body are private. We would encourage parents and carers to use the same words at home, we do understand that families often have informal body-part names that they use, but we would ask that you take on board the need to use the same words as school.

We will watch the following animation:
