Looking after ourselves in Reception

In Reception, we have been thinking about how to be healthy. 

"We need to eat healthy foods like apples and vegetables!"

"We have to do exercise and run to make our heart beat faster and faster!"

"If we sneeze, or if we are going to have snack, or if we have gone to the toilet, we have to wash our hands!"

This got us thinking about what we can do to look after ourselves and our friends. In particular, we spoke about keeping our hands clean before we eat. We explored just how dirty our hands can be by engaging in lots of messy play! Before we sat down for our snack, we made sure that we thoroughly cleaned our hands with soap and water.
