You need to make sure you are wearing a hat outside on sunny days and also make sure you drink lots of water.

Sandwich Day

Yesterday we really enjoyed our technology day.
We worked through different tasks to help us plan our own healthy sandwiches including looking at healthy and unhealthy foods, taste testing some foods and brainstorming ideas of foods that go in sandwiches.
We then planned and made our own sandwiches.

Litterthon

This afteroon the sun came out just in time for our Litterthon.
We walked down 2 streets looking for litter to pick up. Our class did a wonderful job and managed to fill a lot of plastic bags with rubbish. We did a great job contributing to our local community by helping clean up and make everything look tidy.

Dental Nurse

Today the dental nurse came in and talked to us about how to keep our teeth healthy.
She showed us how to brush our teeth properly and we even got to put on gloves and try brushing with our pretend toothbrushes.
We learnt brush, spit, bed!
So now we can try and keep our teeth healthy and eat less sugary foods to keep them even healthier.

Health Nurse

Yesaterday the health nurse came to visit us in our classroom.
She talked to us about germs and bacteria and making sure we wash our hands properly. She told us that we needed to sing the happy birthday song twice when we are washing hands and taught us how to make sure we get all the grms off our hands when we are washing them. We then put some special gel on our hands and washed them, the the nurse used a special light to show us where the germs would be left on your hands. Most people still had germs around their ginfer nails.


Cross Country

On Thursday we had our Cross Country race. Everyone did a wonderful job and ran either once or twice around the feild.
Well done to Krystal who came 1st in the year 2 girls race and Adam who came 3rd in year 1 boys race.
