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.
