This week Nicola, our school nurse has been back to work with Y3. We have been working to find out more about hygiene.
Each group had to work together to discuss and list how we look after our bodies . Each group recorded reasons why it is important to wash and what would happen if we didn’t.
We discussed these parts of the body:
- teeth
- hair
- bodies
- hands
- feet
When it is warm or run around we sweat. This helps our body cool down. Sweat does not smell, however when it dries on our skin the bacteria feeds on the sweat and this is what smells.
Did you know we should…
- visit the dentist every 6 months
- wash our hair 3 times per week
- wash our face and behind our ears everyday
- wash even if we use deodorant
- wash our hands every time after we touch an animal, after we sneeze and after going to the toilet
- cut our nails regularly
- wash our feet everyday
- wear clean socks and pants everyday
- dry in between our toes
