Fascinating Fact:

We can save water by turning off the tap when we brush our teeth.

In KS1 Geography, children find out where food and water come from and why they must be shared fairly. They also learn simple ways to save water every day.

  • Fresh water: Water that is safe to drink and does not taste salty.
  • Irrigation: Bringing water to fields so crops and plants can grow.
  • Resource: Something important we use, like food, water, or energy.
Why is clean water important for KS1 children to learn about?

Clean water is important because people need it for drinking, washing, cooking, and growing food. Learning about it in KS1 helps children understand how to stay healthy and safe.

How can I teach KS1 children to save water at home and school?

You can teach children to turn off taps, take shorter showers, use a watering can instead of a hose, and only fill cups with the water they will drink.

What do KS1 pupils learn about where food comes from?

KS1 pupils learn that food comes from plants and animals on farms, in gardens, and from the sea, and that it is then taken to shops and markets.
