How clean are our hands?

We love experimenting in first class. On Monday we rubbed our hands on bread when they were dirty, sanitised and washed with soap and water. We hope to see some changes in the bread due to the bacteria on our hands 🤞🏻 We also have an untouched slice of bread to compare the changes to.

Spreading Glitter Germs

I Am…

We have been working on describing our personalities and qualities in first class, and what makes us unique. Each girl chose 3-4 words that they felt best described them. You can see the wonderful, positive words they chose in our display 🥰
