We kick started the new year with our new topic that links science, health and wellbeing and food technology.
\nScience:
\nFirst we have been learning about what germs are, different types of germs and diseases, how germs are spread and how to prevent the spread. At the computer suite we used google drawing to make a poster to explain what a germ is and the names of 2 different types of germs:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After that, we researched what common diseases you can get from bacteria and a virus. We made mini comic books to show our understanding of how you get tonsillitis and chicken pox:<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Then we used UV gel to explore how easily germs can spread. We put a small amount of gel on our hands and then touched some surfaces around the classroom. Using the UV light torches we could see the \u2018germs\u2019 from our hands had transferred to the tables we had touched. We were then challenged to wash our hands very well following all the steps to see who could wash all the \u2018germs\u2019 off their hands the best:<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"
\nWe also made posters to show our understanding of how germs spread and both bacteria and viruses spread when inside our body:<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Food Technology<\/p>\n

After all our hard work learning about germs and how they spread, we were keen to link this new knowledge to food preparation. We know it is very important to wash our hands and wipe down surfaces before and after cooking to prevent the spread of germs. To begin, we have been learning to demonstrate simple cutting and knife skills using the bridge hold and claw grip. What better way to show off our new skills than making chips! \"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Modern Languages – Mandarin<\/p>\n

This month we have begun our mandarin lessons on a Thursday afternoon:<\/p>\n

Crazy hair day:<\/p>\n

Everyone looked amazing with their crazy hair:<\/p>\n
