Reception welcomed our Nurse, Mrs Searle, for a special visit all about keeping our teeth happy, healthy and sparkling!
The children became dental experts for the morning, learning all about how to brush their teeth properly, how often we should brush them and how long we should brush for.
There was no need for a reminder about how often, either – our Reception children already knew that we should brush our teeth twice a day! They also discovered that a really good brush should last for two whole minutes.
But what happens when we eat and drink certain things? The children talked about what can cause our teeth to become damaged and discovered that fizzy drinks can be particularly hard on our teeth. This led to a closer look at the food wheel, as the children explored the different foods and drinks that help us to stay healthy.
With lots of new knowledge and some top tips for looking after their smiles, Reception were ready to put their learning into practice!
