Learning in school

In school we have been learning about the importance of good oral health. We have spent time focusing on the role of the dentist and how they help us to keep healthy. 

Brushing teeth

We have been learning about the importance of brushing our teeth regularly. We sequenced photos to support us in understanding the order we complete the different actions. We practised this on some large teeth as well as some laminated teeth. This was great fun!

Song!

We learnt a song about brushing our teeth!

Brushing teeth record

We sent home a weekly reward chart for brushing teeth at home. Here are the templates you may want to use to support this at home.

Healthy lifestyle

In school we have been learning about and promoting the importance of a healthy lifestyle. We have been learning about what foods and drink are good for us and how they support us to have good teeth. We enjoyed playing a sorting game where we talked about which were good for our teeth and which could damage our teeth.

50 things to do before you're 5
