Life skills

Science

• The child has learned about the importance of nutrition and healthy eating habits, understanding the impact of food choices on their physical and mental well-being.
• Through practical activities, they have gained knowledge of basic first aid skills, including wound care and CPR, to respond to emergency situations.
• They have developed an understanding of environmental conservation and sustainability, learning about renewable energy sources and the impact of human activities on ecosystems.
• Understanding of mental health and stress management, including coping strategies and the importance of seeking help when needed.

To further develop life skills in the context of science, encourage the child to explore practical experiments related to nutrition and sustainable living. They could experiment with growing their own food, create a mini solar energy project, or research the impact of different environmental practices on local ecosystems. Encourage them to keep a science journal to document their findings and reflect on the practical applications of the concepts they learn.
