The importance of exercise and how to keep clean and healthy

Science has been fun in year 2 this half term. We have been learning about the importance of exercise and how to keep clean and healthy. The children especially enjoyed our practical lessons about hygiene. The glitter experiment was great for demonstrating how germs can spread quickly, we then investigated the best way to wash our hands. We have also looked at dental hygiene where the children came to school with their toothbrushes. We had a brushing teeth session and all the children took part and then we looked at foods and drinks that were good and bad for our teeth. After half term we will set up an experiment to show the children which drinks are particularly bad for our teeth.
