Event - KS1 Visit from a Hygiene Control Nurse

5 October 2011

Children in Years 1 and 2 have been studying Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole as part of their History and Literacy work.

We were fortunate enough to be visited by a modern nurse who told us all about keeping our hands clean.

The children practised washing their hands whilst singing 'Happy Birthday' for 15 seconds, then applied a special 'Glitter Bugs Hand Gel' before puttingtheir hands underneath an ultra-violet light to see how well we had washed them.

We all did really well and learnt a lot about hand hygiene.
