Sunshine

This KS1 PSHE quiz will teach you about the sun and how to protect yourself from it so that you can still enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

It is very important that we know how to look after our bodies at all times. We do this from the inside with a balanced diet and exercise but also from the outside with protective clothing and following health and safety rules. One thing that lots of people enjoy is being outside in the sun but it is important to understand that the sun, although nice, can be damaging to our bodies if we don’t take precautions and protect ourselves from its powerful rays.
