Handwash challenge to local schools
Medicspot extended their handwashing competition to all pupils aged 5–11 from primary schools throughout the local area, including Scholes Primary.
Wetherby children are encouraged to complete the challenge while at home by making a poster, filming a video, recording a song, doing a science experiment or writing a poem, to name a few.
