Germs!

You might have noticed that I wasn't around school yesterday and today I will only be here for the morning. I am taking a little time off this week because I have a cold. Do you know how you get colds? Colds are caused by a virus. Viruses are spread in lots of different ways but the most common way is through touch. Check out this animation to see how viruses from a single sneeze might be spread to many different people. When you finish watching maybe you'll understand why teachers and parents are always asking you to cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze!
