Last week the whole school voted on what we would like to raise money for. We had two options to choose from – the Australian bushfires or Sports Relief. We discussed what voting is and why it is important and then voted in our own polling station! Our Y2 school councillor kept a watchful eye over proceedings. The vast majority voted in favour of raising money to help the Australian bushfire relief.

In PSHE we’ve been looking at how easily germs can spread and how important it is to wash our hands properly. We put glitter on our hands to represent germs and then washed our hands. We found that lots of us still had glitter on our hands. We now know to wash our hands with soap and ensure we clean all parts of the hand.
