Primary 1b have been learning all about hand washing, and why this is important.

We watched a video showing germs on our hands. They are so small, that we can’t see them, but apparently they can be spread really easily. We weren’t sure if we believed this or not.

So, we decided to play with glitter! The glitter is the pretend germs (just a bit bigger so we can see them). We went around the classroom, touching everything. They spread so easily! The classroom ended up covered in germs!

When we tried to wash them off, it was quite hard, we had to use soap to help make sure our hands were very clean.
