AI & Me Year 2: Helping Children Grow Up Thoughtful, Safe and Human in an AI Age

Children are growing up in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, smart devices, search tools and digital systems. Schools need practical, age-appropriate ways to help pupils understand this changing world while staying grounded in what matters most: judgement, honesty, kindness, resilience and human connection.

AI & Me: Year 2 Teacher Planning Guide is a complete classroom resource designed for teachers, PSHE leads and school leaders who want to introduce AI education in a calm, thoughtful and developmentally appropriate way.

Written specifically for Year 2 pupils (ages 6-7), this guide provides eight short, high-impact lessons that help children explore key questions such as:

• Is it a person or a program?
• Can I believe this?
• Can AI be my friend?
• Whose work is it?
• What should I keep private?
• How does AI make me feel?
• Is this kind and fair?
• Should I ask AI or try myself?

This practical guide also includes:

• Full lesson plans
• Vocabulary progression
• Assessment and impact tools
• Parent letters and home guides
• Staff CPD materials
• Governor rationale
• PSHE / RSHE curriculum mapping
• Safeguarding-aware teaching guidance

Created by an experienced school leader and educator, the AI & Me series helps schools prepare children for the future without losing the human heart of education.

Ideal for:
Primary schools, MATs, PSHE leads, computing leads, safeguarding leads and forward-thinking educators.

Because education should not only prepare children for tests. It should prepare them for the world they are growing up in.
