We have been learning how to wash our hands this week.

We had a special machine in the classroom. It let us see how well we wash our hands.

First we had to put special cream on our hands. Then we had to go and wash our hands. Our buddies came too. We all washed our hands in the toilets.

Next we got to look at our hands under a special light.

If there were parts of the skin on our hands that glowed under the light then we hadn’t washed them properly. We had to go back to the toilets to wash our hands again.

It was lots of fun. We all promised to wash our hands really carefully and to use soap every time. We will make sure that we wash carefully around our fingernails as lots of us missed this bit out!

On Friday 30th October we joined together with our friends from 1A, 2A and 2B.

We were dressed up in our guizin clothes. We played lots of games. We really liked the ‘Mummy’ game. We used toilet roll to cover one of our friends in toilet roll. We worked in teams and took it in turns to put the toilet roll around the mummy! It was lots of fun.

Here are some of our mummies!

We passed around pumpkins filled with cold spaghetti and had to hock inside it to find starburst sweeties! It was very funny on our hands!!

We also played monster musical statues and had to make scary monster poses when the music stopped.

We have buddies. They are in P6B. We play with our buddies and make things with them.

Our buddies have been helping us to find our way around the school. We have visited the school library where we chose books together and then read them. Our buddies took us to the wildlife area where we had a treasure hunt for different objects like twigs and stones.

We have been making collage pictures of us with our buddies. We made the pictures using paper, felt tips, glue, wool and fabric.

We love working with our buddies!
