If your children come home from school in the next few weeks with glitter on them, it might not be from art class. The glitter is likely to have been from a SneezeSafe lesson and represents droplets from a sneeze. St Patrick’s School teachers are amongst many around the country taking part in respiratory hygiene lessons, as part of the health curriculum. The Kleenex SneezeSafe lesson has become popular among teachers and nurses who want to effectively convey vital health messages to children. The lesson demonstrates the need to trap their sneezes and how to master the art of respiratory hygiene, using a simple three-step approach. Children ‘Trap It’ (preferably with a tissue, otherwise cupped hands or the inside of their elbow), ‘Bin It’ (discard the tissue into a rubbish bin), then ‘Wash It’ (wash hands thoroughly to TC280513CA02A remove germs). ST Patrick’s School teacher Claire Donaldson demonstrates how germs spread when you sneeze. To help make the lesson ‘stick’, teachers use water spray to show the class how far and fast an untrapped sneeze can spread influenza virus particles through the air. They also demonstrate how far unwashed hands can spread infec- tious droplets by involving the whole class in a glitter handshake. This teaching and learning technique is now part of the Heart Foundation’s Government-funded fight against rheumatic fever and is a vital tool with the influenza season approaching.

■ Free teaching resources are being made available by Kleenex for all TC280513CA02B TC280513CA02C schools. For more see: ST Patrick’s pupil Sean Osborne (5) practices using a tissue to trap his ST Patrick’s pupil Maddison Wardlaw (5) shows the result of a ‘glitter www.sneezesafe.co.nz sneeze. handshake’ from her teacher.
