Alhussan International School-Yanbu organized a Health and Hygiene awareness program for the school children. Childhood is the age of learning and it is the time when a child starts developing healthy habits and a good attitude towards health. The program was held on three days, April 10, 2018 to April 12, 2018.
With the cooperation of two of our parents, Dr. Hadeel Mohammed, mother of Hashim Alsharif, KG2, and Mrs. Sadaf Burhan, mother of Ameena Burhan, Grade 1, they conducted sessions about Hygiene. The sessions started with informative talk and discussion followed by a presentation about the healthy hygiene habits. They listed out the good and bad hygiene habits and explained to the students what is considered good and healthy, and what is not. They discussed different topics including health hygiene, hand hygiene, body hygiene and sleep hygiene.
Children remember something better when it is fun and makes them happy. We supported our hygiene day with different activities that the teachers conducted in the classroom. The students presented different hygiene products and talked about them during the show and tell activity.
The teachers explained to the students the importance of taking care of our health and well-being by keeping ourselves clean. They taught the students about good personal hygiene habits that can keep them free from illnesses and diseases caused due to bacteria.
Overall, it has been informative week in terms of knowing of how to improve the personal hygiene and how to prevent ourselves from critical diseases.
