Tippy Tap by Folau

In room 5 we have been learning to make a tippy tap to show Africa how to wash their hands so they
don't spread germs to other people. This is a picture of the tippy tap it works like this. You get 4 long hard sticks then make a x on both side. Then you get a container but first put a stick on the cross then you get the container and tie it on the stick. Then get the soap put a thin rope but make a whole through the soap in the middle then tie the rope on the stick. When you finish put the stick on the ground then get the soap rub it on your hands remember on your whole hands after that wash your hands by sanding on the stick.

Helping Africa

In Room Five we have been learning about the water problem in Africa. Did you know that half of the world's hospital beds are filled with people suffering from a water-related disease, that means because they don't have clean water they get really sick! Just Washing hands with soap and water helps lessen diarrhea deaths by more than 40%
Room Five think they should become a social organisation that help the people in Africa get enough water to wash their hands.
We are going to create a device that will work in Africa to wash a families hands for one day. That means less trips to the well and more time for education.
The device must........

• Have soap 
• Have water 
• It must be able to work in Africa 
• It must have a container that will hold at least a liter of water 
• It must be cost effective- People in Africa will not have much money 
• It needs to have somewhere for the excess water to go

We have done some research and have come up with a rather cool device. Keep watching this space to find out what it is.
