Pip’s answer
- We go to school to learn new things and grow our brains!
- At school we learn to read, count, paint, and ask big questions.
- We also make friends and learn to take turns and help each other.
- Ooh, every new thing you learn helps your brain build brand new paths!
For grown-ups
School helps children learn reading, math, science and more, and also builds social skills like cooperating, taking turns and solving problems with others. Learning new things strengthens connections between brain cells, and young brains are especially good at forming them.
