Last week the Life Education Caravan came to school. The Life Education lady brought Harold the Giraffe along to help teach us about how we need air to live and about how we breathe.
We learned we need air to live. Our body needs air, food and water to make energy. Our body gets oxygen from the air we breathe. We breathe in oxygen to our lungs. Then our blood carries the oxygen and food around our body to where the energy is made.
We learned we get oxygen from the air we breathe. We have lungs to breathe with.
We learned fish get oxygen from the water they breathe. Fish do not have lungs. They have gills to breathe with.
We learned that we need clean air to keep healthy. Clean air makes our lungs happy.
Dirty air makes lungs sad and can make us sick. We learned about things that make air dirty, like smoke. When air is dirty we call that air pollution. Air pollution is bad for us to breathe. It is unhealthy.
We all got an activity book to take home so the grown-ups at home can help us learn more about Air to Live.
