P1-4 were learning all about personal hygiene as an introduction to their dental health topic in HWB.\u00a0 We learned about how easily germs can pass on to other people, particularly after sneezing and coughing.<\/p>\n
We looked at how tiny germs were and if we don\u2019t wash our hands regularly, the germs build up and spread easily to other people.<\/p>\n
Mrs Henry pretended she had not washed her hands after the toilet and after sneezing! We then played \u2018catch\u2019 using pretend glitter germs.\u00a0 The glitter germs went on everyone\u2019s hands that caught the ball.\u00a0 This was a really visual way of seeing how germs spread and how important it is to keep our hands clean.<\/p>\n
We then used an \u2018Airzuka\u2019 which shoots blasts of air.\u00a0 This was to simulate a cough and see how far cough germs can travel.\u00a0 We were shocked that the cough still hit us up until we were over 8-12 steps away from each other!!<\/p>\n
Take a look at us exploring the yuckiness of germs! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\t\t
