Washing Your Hands
Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt.
Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for germs to get on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands. Think hands covered in the dirt and you’re eating your favourite food and the next day your sick! This is because didn’t wash your hands and the bacteria went into your mouth.
Remember you always maintain personal hygiene. So you must wash your
hands with soap at least 30 seconds. If you think it’s boring
than sing happy birthday 2 times. Remember always wash your hand before
and after eating, preparing food, going to the bathroom or playing with the dirt.

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about”. Meg Wheatley
Weird but True!
1Hippopotamus milk is pink! Hippopotamus has 2 unique acids in their bodies called hipposudoric acid and Norhipposudoric acid, In milking Hippo the two acids get combined with the white milk and thus pink-coloured milk is ejected.
2 One of the ingredients needed to make dynamite is peanuts. Peanut oil can be processed to produce glycerol, which can be used to, make nitroglycerine, an explosive liquid used in dynamite. However, there are other ways to make dynamite without peanuts at all.
Book Review
Five on Treasure Island
Author: Enid Blyton
Cover Art: Quentin Blake
While their parents have gone on holiday Dick, Julian and Anne visit their cousin, George. They go to Kirrin Island with Timothy (dog).In search of a treasure that belongs to George. They find an old box with old letters belonging to George’s great great grandfather. But George’s father sells the box to an antique dealer. The kids are determined to find the treasure. But they don’t know somebody also trying to get the treasure.
I like this book because it's full of mystery and Enid Blyton describes the setting very vividly.
