Bacteria and the importance of washing hands.
In science, we have been looking at "being healthy and looking after ourselves."
Year 2 have been looking at diet, exercise and keeping clean.
Year 2 put some glitter in gel and then put their hands in the mixture, covering their hands (the glitter represented bacteria).
We went outside and played, and the children could see how the glitter could spread.
We then went inside and washed our hands and the children could see, using soap and water, how our hands can be clean and stop the spread of bacteria.
