The brain is a grey ball of wrinkled tissue inside our heads. It is protected by membranes, fluid and a hard skull.

The brain controls everything that we do. It helps us to see, hear, move, think,

dream, remember and more!

The left half of your brain controls the right side of your body and the right side of your brain controls the left

side of your body!

Use it Challenge yourself,

try new things and give your brain a workout.

Drink water The brain needs water to create neural pathways,

so stay hydrated.

Eat healthily Have a healthy diet to

give your brain the minerals that it needs.

Exercise Exercise regularly to increase the oxygen levels in your blood.

Sleep Being too tired can affect your ability to learn.

Take breaks Help to maintain

your focus by taking regular breaks.

Emotions It can be difficult to learn new things when you’re

upset or stressed.
