Food Safety and Hygiene

On Friday Jacqui invited us in to the dinner hall to teach us about food safety and hygiene.

We learned that hot food has to be 75 degrees or above to be safe to eat. We got to use the thermometer to check the food’s temperature!

We also learned that soup shouldn’t be hotter than 67 degrees and that chilled food should be 8 degrees or less.

Jacqui showed us the proper way to wash our hands to make sure they are really clean!

We are looking forward to using what we learned on our Halloween Activity Day!!

Paramedic Visit

In October we are learning all about ‘Safety’.

Today we had a visit from Fiona from the Ambulance Service.

She talked to us about her job and what to do in emergency situations.

We know to call ‘999’ if there is an emergency and someone is ill or  hurt.

We learned to treat burns with cold water.

We learned to help someone who is bleeding by covering the wound with material (not cotton wool!)
