The importance of hygiene
Personal hygiene is the most important way we can tackle COVID-19, especially washing hands more; and the catch it, bin it, kill it strategy for those with coughs and sneezes.
Wash your hands more often for 20 seconds with soap and hot water
In addition to handwashing before eating, and after coughing and sneezing, both children and staff should also wash hands after using toilets and travelling on public transport.
In line with this Newdale will increase the amount of handwashing the children undertake in school to help with the current situation.
On top of what they should be doing (washing hands after going to the toilet/before lunch/when dirty through forest school/class activity etc) ALL CHILDREN are to wash their hands on entry to the classroom in the morning, after playtime and also after lunch.
