Oral Hygiene with Reception

The children explored the importance of good oral health and learned how to brush their teeth and gums using circular motions, twice a day for two minutes. They had a go at using toothbrushes to clean pretend teeth and enjoyed sharing their own experiences of visiting the dentist.

We also talked about how a healthy diet helps to keep our teeth strong and healthy. As part of our learning, we visited Mr Behan, our Head of Science, in his science lab. He showed us some real animal skulls, including a cat and a deer. The children investigated the different teeth and tried to work out what each animal eats based on their observations.

Well done, Reception, for a super week of hands-on learning
