Happy in Our Skin
In Reception, we read the book ‘Happy in Our Skin’ and talked about what our skin does for us. We looked at our own skin and talked about what we could see. We discussed freckles, moles, birth marks and scars. We then looked at how different our skin was to all of our friends. We discussed how some skin was paler and some darker. Some skin had red or pink tones and some yellow or tan tones. When we asked the children if it mattered what colour skin they had, they all shouted “no!”. We are all proud of our skin and we even shared hugs with our friends in the class to show that skin colour doesn’t stop us being super friends :)
