Sneezesafe* stories
Introduction
At the core of the website are three animated presentations called Sneezesafe* stories which can be presented to the whole class on an interactive whiteboard. These stories are also available as downloadable PDFs for use offline.

Pupils will be shown that the spread of colds can be prevented by adopting good respiratory hygiene principles including the proper use of facial tissues for runny noses, coughs and sneezes.

The stories are a fun way to learn about correct respiratory hygiene practice and use two friendly cartoon characters, Suki Sneeze and Nathan Noseblow, to get across the important messages that pupils need to learn in order to counteract the spread of viruses both at home and at school.
