Our germs experiment in Class 3

Date: 6th May 2022 @ 4:45pm

This week in Class 3 as part of our PSHE learning we have been exploring the topic of 'germs.' As a class we thought about what germs are and what we can do to stop them spreading and making us poorly.

We took part in a whole class experiment to highlight the importance of washing our hands.

Three children were chosen and each put their hands in a different coloured glitter to represent three different types of germs.

The children then shook hands with each other and noticed that they now had lots of different types of germs on their hands when 'playing' with other children.

After that we had a go at washing our hands with and without soap. We found that the germs could only be washed off properly if the children used hot water and soap.
