Jeans for Genes Day 2025: Fundraising for the Genetic Condition Community

The Year 2 children had fun wearing their jeans to school in support of the Jeans for Genes charity.

‘We found out that genes are in our bodies and make us who we are.’
‘Some children are born with genes that have gone a bit wrong and this might make them poorly.’
‘If we wear our jeans we can raise money for people who need medicines, special things like wheelchairs and for doctors to find out more about genes.’
‘We watched a story about a girl who got help from the charity. She had poorly eyes and couldn’t see very well. The charity paid for her doctors.’
‘I liked doing the Jeans for Genes dance.!’

Fun with Numbers

The Year 2 children had a great time exploring numbers in a hands-on way! They loved counting a variety of familiar objects, which helped them understand the concept of quantity. The children were also very creative, molding playdough into different numerals and stacking cubes to build larger numbers. This allowed them to physically construct and visualize what numbers represent. A fun challenge was when they had to estimate and then count how many frog toys live in their classroom, turning Maths into a fun treasure hunt.
