What are we doing in School?

• We will use assembly time and class time to reinforce the importance of washing our hands and sneezing into our elbows or a tissue to catch our sneezes, and avoid touching our eyes nose and mouth with unwashed hands. 

• We have demonstrated how to wash hands effectively.

• Every classroom has boxes of tissues available.

• Extra soap has been bought and placed in all classrooms and bathrooms.

• Children will be asked to wash their hands at key intervals throughout the day:

- as they arrive at school

- before lunch

- after lunch

- before they leave school at home time

• We will also be sending water bottles home every day to be washed and refilled at home.

• Our cleaning programme has been increased to include daily cleaning of all door handles, increased cleaning of toilets and surfaces throughout school.

• We have displayed handwashing posters around school.
