Over the past couple of weeks in Living and Learning, Year 4 have been learning about how we can keep our bodies healthy.
Last week, we learnt about germs and how we can prevent them from spreading and therefore keep ourselves well.
We started off the lesson by talking about the different types of germs there are; bacteria, viruses and fungi. These are all around us. Some are helpful but some are harmful!
We then discussed how quickly and easily germs can spread. We spent a lot of the lesson talking about the importance of hand washing and how this is the most effective way for us to combat spreading harmful germs.
Help at home by looking at this hand washing guide with your child to remind them to wash their hands thoroughly!
