Strep Throat & Rheumatic Fever

Today we had visitors in to our school to talk to us about how they come into our school to do throat swabs on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.  They reminded us all of the importance of washing our hands and coughing into our arms to help prevent the spread of nasty bugs and also of the importance of taking all the medicine if we need to have them.

Here are some photos of us at the assembly.

Today Bev our public health nurse came to visit Room 5 and  6. Bev showed us all the sugar that was in different drinks like juice and fizzy. Did you know that 400mls of Just Juice has 9 tps of sugar?

We also talked about how important it is to drink 4 glasses of water every day to help our bodies feel good. There is no sugar in water. Here is the video Bev showed us about why it is importanat to drink water.
