Our visit from Des (the nurse)

On Tuesday Des came to our class to teach us about washing our hands.

She told us that we can get germs on our hands and different things if we don't wash them properly, but we can kill them by washing our hands properly.

We learn't you need to wash your hands for as long as is takes you to sing the Happy Birthday (Des) song (20 Seconds).

Then we went to practice washing our hands, the girls went to the girls toilets and the boys went to the boys toilets. We sung Happy Birthday Des as we washed our hands.


We made sure we dried them properly to0 as Des taught us this is just as important as washing them.

She even checked under our nails for any hidden dirt.

She read us a story about a boy who forgot to wash his hands after playing outside and he got a sore tummy.

Before she left she gave us some cool posters for our classroom, some colouring in posters and even a sticker each.

Thanks Des, We had so much fun learning about how to keep our hands clean.
