Living and Learning: Health and Prevention

Monday 15 April 2024

Today’s Living and Learning lesson was all about germs! (More specifically, preventing the spread of them!)

Have a go at the quiz we did in class.

What’s the science behind sneezing?

How can we stop germs from spreading?

We carried out an experiment where just four people in the class had green paint on their hand. They high fived other people and those people did the same. It didn’t take long at all before we were all covered in ‘germs’.

It really, really highlighted the need for handwashing. Seeing the green spreading from such a small starting point was shocking!

Help at home by discussing when it’s needed to wash hands and how long for! How else can we prevent germs from spreading?
