Health & Hygiene

2nd Sep 2018

As we begin a new school year we would like to increase your child’s awareness of
the importance of good handwashing, because, as you know, children are
more prone to sharing bugs. We feel that this will help reduce the likelihood
of the spread of any infections both in the school and at home. We would be
grateful if you would go through the handwashing steps with your child. Little
rhymes such as “This is the way we wash our hands” [for our younger children]can
make handwashing a fun experience. It is important that handwashing is carried out
after certain activities, for example, using the toilet, before eating, after touching
animals, the garden or rubbish. “Happy Handwashing!”
