e-Bug” interactive educational resources
Promoting health and hygiene in schools: “e-Bug” interactive educational resources for Early Years to KS4
e-Bug is a great interactive and engaging educational resource to help children and young people understand how to stay healthy and stop the spread of bugs. Produced by the UKHSA (formally Public Health England), the resources are designed for children and young people aged 3-16, covering topics such as hand, respiratory & oral hygiene, microbes, antibiotics and infection prevention. The content aligns to the National Curriculum (particularly Science & PHSE) and is accredited by the Association for Science Education. All resources – including adaptable lesson plans, activities and worksheets, are available to download for free at www.e-bug.eu.
The e-Bug COVID-19 page also provides further information, advice and resources to help you as we come out of COVID-19 restrictions and continue efforts to promote health and hygiene in educational settings.
For practical support or advice on using or adapting the e-Bug resources in your setting, please contact the NHS Bridgewater Community Healthcare Trust IPC Team at bchft.ipcteam@nhs.net or 01925 946197.
To help us understand how you might make use of the e-Bug resources and how in Halton Borough Council we can better support you in the future, we would also be very grateful if you could complete our short 5 minute survey*, available here.
Talking to pupils about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
The Department for Education (DfE) has made available advice and resources to help teachers, families and young people discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and avoid misinformation. The Educate Against Hate website is also available for schools as a useful resource when dealing with a range of issues relating to conflict and other difficult classroom conversations.
