Fascinating Fact:

Trees help clean the air, so planting and protecting trees is a healthy choice for people and animals.

In KS1 Science, children discover that caring for the environment helps everyone stay healthy. Clean air, litter-free spaces, and plenty of trees and plants support people, animals, and our planet.

  • Environment: All the places around us, including air, water, land, plants, animals, and people.
  • Pollution: Harmful things like smoke, rubbish, or dirty water that can damage nature and health.
  • Recycling: Turning used materials, such as paper or cans, into new items instead of throwing them away.
How does the environment affect our health for KS1 children?

A clean environment gives us fresh air to breathe, safe water to drink, and tidy places to play. A dirty environment can spread germs and make people and animals ill.

What can children do to help keep the environment clean?

Children can put litter in bins, recycle at home and school, walk or cycle short journeys, save water, and look after plants and trees in gardens and parks.

Why are trees important for people and animals?

Trees give us oxygen to breathe, shade on hot days, homes for birds and insects, and help keep our air cleaner by trapping dust and some pollution.
