🌱 Our Body & Health
(Nursery – Environmental Studies / Science)
1️⃣ Simple Explanation
Our body is like a tiny house that lives inside us.
Just like a house needs a roof, walls, and windows, our body needs eyes, ears, hands, feet, nose, and a heart to work.
To stay happy and strong we have to:
- Eat good food (fruits, veggies, milk, bread)
- Move around (run, jump, play)
- Keep clean (wash hands, brush teeth)
- Sleep well (so the body can grow)
2️⃣ Key Points
| # | What It Means | Why It’s Important |
