This week Class 1 we’re visited by our local school nurses. They came in to talk to us about how to keep ourselves clean and healthy. We discussed washing our hands, we know we need to wash our hands throughout the day to prevent germs from spreading to our friends and families.
To test how germs spread we passed a glittery ball and then checked our hands to see what germs had been left on our hands, we were shocked! To help us learn how to wash our hands properly the nurses sang a song for us to use when washing our hands to make sure we clean all parts of our hands.
We wash our hands after the toilet – Eden
Wash hands before dinner – Thomas
We the also learned about the importance of looking after our teeth, this doesn’t just include brushing them but watching how many sugary things we eat during the day.
Chocolate only one or two a week – Gray
Brush your teeth two times a day – Kezia
We all learned so much about looking after ourselves and can’t wait to show everyone how good we are at washing our hands and brushing our teeth!
