GERMS ARE TINY AND LIVE EVERYWHERE!

MICROSCOPES

They can give us sicknesses like sore throats, ear infections and even rotten teeth.

Long ago, people didn’t know that keeping clean could stop germs spreading. For example, doctors often operated on patients without washing their hands.

Joseph Lister, a famous doctor, changed this. He told the other doctors and nurses in his hospital to wash their hands and keep everything very clean.

When people did that, more patients got better, and they did not give their diseases to other people.

Microscopes help people to SEE TINY THINGS BETTER.

Some things are so small that you cannot see them using only your eyes. But if you look at them through a microscope, they look bigger. Scientists use microscopes to look at samples of blood, saliva and skin to SEE WHICH GERMS ARE MAKING PEOPLE SICK.

Microscopes were first used in the 16th century but today electron microscopes can MAGNIFY UP TO A MILLION TIMES.

GERM HOTSPOTS

These things carry the most germs.

Make sure you keep them clean or wash your hands after touching.

DO YOU HAVE A DIARY? Keep!

Out

Keeping a diary is a great way to write about yourself, your feelings and your daily life.

Because a diary is private, you can say what you feel about anything. It helps if you are angry or frustrated. One day when you are much older you can look back and read about the ‘younger you’.

1 No, 2 Yes, 3 Yes, 4 Yes, 5 No, 6 Yes, 7 No, 8 Yes, 9 Yes, 10 No.

Spaghetti

POETR e v Y l e t ’s lo

Spaghetti, spaghetti, all over the place Up to my elbows up to my face Over the carpet and under the stairs, Into the hammock and wound round the stairs.

Filling the bathtub and covering the desk Making the sofa a mad mushy mess.

The party is ruined, I’m terribly worried The guests have all left (unless they’re all buried) I told them, ‘Bring presents, I said, ‘throw confetti.’

I guess they heard wrong ’Cause they all threw spaghetti!

MY TELESCOPE

I bought myself a telescope To look into the sky, To see the solar system And the comets whizzing by.

I search the sky for planets.

For satellites and stars, And now I’ve got a telescope They don’t seem very far.

It’s brought them very close to me, It’s made the stars my friends ...

Except of course when I make a mistake And look through the wrong end!

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ONLY 65– 65–75% OF PEOPLE CAN ROLL THEIR TONGUES. THE REST CANNOT!

It runs in families.

If you can do it – it means that most of your family can also roll their tongues. This is called an inherited characteristic.

Sadly, if both your parents can’t do it, it means that you will never be able to do it!

Other inherited characteristics include your height, eye colour, nose shape, dimples, freckles and even the shape of your earlobes.

In some instances you can see similarities in body shape and you can even inherit abilities to do certain things – like rolling your tongue!
