School age children are a high risk group for contracting
meningitis - a life-threatening disease which can leave
survivors with severe, disabling after-effects, including brain
damage, deafness and where septicaemia has occurred, loss of
limbs.
To help teachers educate children about disease, the Meningitis
Trust has developed a website:
www.meningitis-learning.org designed specifically for
teachers to help support lesson planning and delivery in Science
and PSHE, the website features downloadable lesson plans,
worksheets and whiteboard presentations and can also be used as
an interactive tool during lessons.
To make learning fun for younger children, Monty the Duck will
guide pupils through the world of micro-organisms where they
will meet good and bad bacteria and see the effect they have on
our bodies, including how bad bacteria can cause infection and
how antibiotics can fight them. For older children the
website uses quizzes and animations to help children learn more
about meningitis and the effect it can have on people's lives.
For more information on the Meningitis Trust and how it can help
PSHE teaching please visit the website
www.meningitis-learning.org or call the main switchboard
01453 768000. Resources such as posters and symptoms cards
are available on request. |
