STARS OF THE WEEK!
Phoenix and Ralphie
Well done to Phoenix and Ralphie, who were both able to talk about why it is important to look after our teeth, when we were learning about oral hygiene this week.
Great work both of you!
This week we have been thinking about how to keep our bodies healthy. We have been learning about healthy and unhealthy foods, as well as the importance of oral health.
We read the book ‘Which Food Will You Choose?’ by Claire Potter, and talked about the importance of a colourful diet. We know that we can eat treats, but we shouldn’t have them everyday. We also learnt that eating a healthy diet helps our bodies and brains to grow strong, and that healthy foods give us energy!
We have also been learning about the importance of oral health, and foods that are good for our teeth. The children enjoyed brushing the pretend teeth, and spoke about why we should brush our teeth everyday:
“It keeps germs away.”
“To keep our teeth nice and healthy.”
“If you don’t brush your teeth you will get a toothache.”
“You have to brush your teeth everyday to keep them white and shiny!”
OUR LEARNING:

Next week we will be learning the phonemes: CK, E, U and R.
