The importance of washing your hands
Hygiene is important to all of us. Good hygiene means we’re clean, healthy, and free from illness. Washing hands is the most effective way to maintain good hygiene levels and protect us from getting sick. It’s not always easy to wash our hands. Sometimes we forget, we don’t have enough time, or just don’t want to! Microbes can spread quickly, particularly in places where many people come together, including schools. Learning how, when and why to wash hands properly is an important step for any child.
