The boys and girls had so much fun learning about germs and why it is so important to wash our hands, that we decided to do another experiment to find out how dirty our hands were.  We cut a potato into four parts and we had a discussion about where we think would be dirty  – the class decided we should rub the potato on our hands, on the floor and outside.  The fourth part we put straight into the bag and Mrs Paton wore gloves to stop any germs rubbing onto it.

Here we are with the four parts of the potato in sealed bags and we will look at these in a week to find out if anything has happened!
