A group of scientists from Brunel University in London are coming to school this year as part of a study into air and breathing. The team will measure the air while you work at your usual lessons, and they will ask your parents some questions about asthma and wheezing. We would also like to ask some of you to help with this work - pupils in year three will be asked to blow into a simple instrument two or three times over a week as a way to measure breathing. We would like people to help with this so that we know more about why some children get asthma.
It is totally up to you whether or not you would like to take part, please talk to your parents about this. If you have any questions, you can e-mail us at SchoolAir@brunel.ac.uk, or talk to us in school. More information on asthma and people who can help is given on our FAQs page.
