Internal organs of Human body
Our human bodies are like houses, filled with many interconnecting rooms of different shapes and sizes and with different functions. Each of those rooms is made up of one of the human body organs and performs a specific job within the body.

Why do children learn about organs?
Knowing about the main organs of the human body is a crucial life skill that will give children confidence in lots of aspects of life:
Children will understand the benefits of movement so much better if they know about the different parts of the body and what they need to function well.
Knowing about the human body helps children understand why we need to eat nutritious food and drink lots of water to stay healthy.
Anatomical knowledge helps children understand the needs of different people and how best we can help support them in society.
