Everyone welcome! # Reception Hand Hygiene ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1168.JPG) 5 October 2023 Reception have been learning about the importance of good hand hygiene. We talked about germs - what is a germ and how do they spread? We used glitter to show how quickly germs can spread to others and make them poorly. We also experimented to see if water alone would get rid of the glitter germs and found out that the germs were still on our hands after using water. We finally managed to clean all the germs off when we used soap and warm water to clean all the areas of our hands. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1168.JPG) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [PSHE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/7B3CC86A-EB89-417E-BC64-DA54CC6B9B2D.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-year-1-making-a-sukkah) Previous ### [Year 1-Making a Sukkah](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-year-1-making-a-sukkah) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1221.JPG)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-reception-our-sense-of-smell) Next ### [Reception - our sense of smell](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-10-05-reception-our-sense-of-smell) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
