I know the importance of personla hygiene including handwashing.
This week, we’ve have been learning about germs and how to prevent spreading them.
We started off the lesson by testing our knowledge about all things germs. Did you know that the kitchen contains the most germs in the house, even more than the bathroom? Also, there are 100,000 microbes in a sneeze, which can travel up to 8 metres!
We learnt about cross contamination and how quickly germs can spread. And, although we have learnt this before, we revisited the importance of washing hands properly and with soap and warm water.
Help at home – Encourage your child to wash their hands before eating and when they come home from school. Can they remember why it is important to do so? What germ facts can the remember?
