Keeping healthy

We have been learning about what keeps us healthy and the importance of washing our hands to keep germs away.

First of all one person started with their hands covered in glitter; the glitter represented germs. That person shook hands with others and they shook hands with more people and so on. We understand how easily germs can be passed if we do not take care to wash our hands properly.

We then washed our hands following a set of instructions.

Turn on the warm tap and rinse your hands

Use soap and wash palm to palm

Between fingers

Thumbs

Back of hands

Fingertips on palms

Rinse off the soap

Turn off the tap

Shake off as much water as you can

Dry your hands

We are making posters to put up at the sinks to remind people to wash their hands properly.
