Fascinating Fact:

Thirst is a sign your body needs water, but it is better to drink before you feel very thirsty. Pale urine is often a sign of good hydration.

In KS2 PSHE, learning about water is about keeping your body healthy and making sensible daily choices. You explore why your body needs fluids, how drinking helps you concentrate, and what to do if you feel hot, tired, or unwell.

Key Terms

  • Hydration: Having enough water in your body to work properly.
  • Dehydration: When your body loses more water than it takes in, which can cause headaches, tiredness, or dizziness.
  • Fluids: Drinks and watery foods that add water to your body, such as water, milk, soup, or fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Why do we need to drink water every day?

You need to drink water every day because your body uses it for digestion, keeping a steady temperature, and helping your brain and muscles work well.

What are the signs of dehydration in children?

Signs of dehydration can include feeling very thirsty, having a dry mouth, a headache, tiredness, dizziness, and passing urine less often than usual.

What should I do if I feel dizzy or faint in hot weather?

Move to a cooler place, sit down, and sip water. Tell a trusted adult straight away, because dizziness in heat can be a sign your body needs rest and fluids.
