Y2 Elm - washing hands is not as easy as you think ! - Science

As part of our topic on Humans as animals we have been looking at ways to stay healthy, including this week thinking about hand washing.

We learned that you need to rub the soap into your hands for about 15 seconds, about the same amount of time it takes to sing Happy Birthday. 

We also learned that we need to remember five parts of our hands to wash

Palms

Fingers (front, back )

Thumbs

Back of hands

Finger nails.

Wrists

We really enjoyed practising !
