Karen from Life Education visited Reception today. She explained how we need food, drink, exercise and sleep to stay healthy.
Karen explained how we need to make sure germs don't get in by washing our hands with soap and water.
We might need some medicine and we need to ask a grown up.
We watched a video of Harold. Before he ate his breakfast, he washed his hands. Karen brought Harold's wash bag to show the children what he uses to keep clean. Harold has a flannel, soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste. Karen explained how it is very important to brush our teeth at least twice every day.
Harold felt a little bit sad. Karen explained that if you feel a bit sad, you could cuddle a toy, play with a friend or talk to someone. Talking really helps when you feel sad and it can help you to feel better.
Karen discussed a good bedtime. She explained how it is important to get an early bed time. We then took part in a calm and relaxing activity.
At the end, we got to meet Harold, what a treat! Harold sang a song to us all about looking after our bodies and mind. Thanks Karen for a wonderful session.
