From: Fizzy Subject: Help!

Hello, it’s Fizzy here!

I really need help from the children in your class.

I’m setting up a club called Fizzy’s Super Athletes’ Club, and I’m looking for members who want to find out more about sport and the human body, just like me.You don’t have to be an athlete to be a member, but you do have to be super!

Can you help?

From: Fizzy Subject: Challenge 1

Hello everyone,

That’s great news, I’m glad you all want to join my club! It will be fun having so many new members.

All you have to do to join is complete three challenges.

Challenge 1: Look at the next slide. Get in the zone and answer the question about your bodies. Then, let me know what you find out!

Good luck!
