Welcome to our fourth issue of kidzlyfe!

At kidzlyfe we believe that learning can be both interesting

and fun. We believe that by giving children a platform to

showcase their talents and share their knowledge they can

learn from one another and perfect their skills.

Kidzlyfe accepts all articles and artwork from children of

primary school age but only the best get to be featured. We

believe that they will motivate their readers to write, draw

and/or think as best as their contributors.

In conclusion, I would like to thank all parents for their

support in the making of this magazine and encourage all

parents to allow their children to forward their work to us.

God bless you.

My father My father is very good. He drinks coca-cola. He brings toys for me. He is a big man. He has ten fingers. He has a big car. I like my father.

My dog

I love my dog. It is very good. It eats meat. It can catch a ball. It catches thieves. It is colour brown.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

The nervous system is responsible for receiv-

ing, processing and transmitting information

which the body needs to coordinate all it’d ac-

tivities. The body constantly receives a great

deal of varied information, called stimuli. It

can work out the difference between hot or

cold, up or down, yesterday and today.

The body receives stimuli from within

itself, ,making it react in a certain way. For ex-

ample, when running fast the body needs

more oxygen so it needs to breath more

deeply.

The nervous system

controls the body’s re-

actions and is respon-

sible for all the sensa-

tions in the body


The brain is liked the spinal cord and together they

form the central nervous system. Like a large com-

puter, this system receives, stores and processes in-

formation. All the nerves that are not part of the

brain or the spinal cord make up the peripheral

nervous system. This takes information from organs

such as the eyes and ears and passes it back to the

central nervous system. Once the information is pro-

cessed , the peripheral nervous system passes in-

structions back to the muscles an d organs, telling

them what to do.

Another part is the vegetative system. This con-

trols how the organs inside the body works such as

keeping the heart beating. These don’t need instruc-

tions.

Famous People

Save precious resources!

Don’t let water run constantly when you wash

clothes & dishes. Clean water is precious!

Repair dripping taps. A dripping tap wastes up to

2000 gallons of clean water a year!

Don’t dump waste into rivers and streams. Loose

garbage chokes and poisons birds and our wild-

life.

Avoid burning garbage . It releases poisons gases

in the air!

Plant a tree! Trees help absorb excess carbon di-

oxide and provide shade and windbreaks
