Over the last few weeks 3c.2 have been learning about germs. Today we looked at how germs would look under a microscope and then tried to replicate them using play dough. We also used a special machine to show us the importance of washing our hands properly. We put a special glitter bug cream on our hands and then we washed them. When we put our hands under the lamp it showed us where the bugs were still living on our hands. We were really shocked by how many germs were still there after washing! We then learned how to wash our hands properly and tried again. This time we were much more successful at getting rid of the germs.
We learned that we should sing happy birthday twice through when washing our hands to make sure we washed them for long enough. Some of us gave it a go!
