      Hi Finlaye,

      Now that’s a question I didn’t know the answer to! But thanks to the internet I have managed to learn the answer. 😀

      Pee is yellow because it contains a chemical called bilirubin. This chemical is collects in your kidneys and is made from dead red blood cells. This mixes with the fluid in your pee and comes out yellow.

      We need to go to the toilet because our body needs to get rid of all the dirty water and bad chemicals in your body.

      Hope that answers your question!
      Ekbal
