In science we thought about what you can have for breakfast. Then we ranked some breakfast cereals in order from the most healthy to the least healthy in our opinions. Miss Markham asked us questions and a lot of the answers we gave her were about the amount of sugar in the cereal. For example, “ Weetabix is the healthiest because it doesn’t have much sugar in it.”
We then looked at how many teaspoons are in a 50g portion of each cereal. We couldn’t believe that Coco Pops has 4 teaspoons of sugar in it when we should only be having 6 teaspoons in a day!
Today we had a germs Science lesson which everyone really enjoyed and were able to give their opinions and share their ideas.
Mrs Hind put glitter on children`s hands to represent germs and the children had to decide which was the best way to try and clean away the germs - a dry paper towel, cold water or hot soapy water.
It was really interesting when one child found glitter on her table but had not gone near the children with glitter on.
After we had been outside 3 children were chosen to do our germs and bread experiment. 1 child with very dirty hands touched a slice of bread, 1 child thoroughly washed their hands and then touched the bread, 1 child put a slice of bread into a bag only holding it with tweezers. We will watch what happens to our bread.
We discussed and recorded the order of how to correctly wash our hands, labelled a child with ideas how to keep clean and finally listened to the story Dirty Bertie.
