Healthy Teeth!
It's time for the Oral Health Challenge! We are always excited to take on a new challenge and participating in the annual Oral Health Challenge opened up some wonderful opportunities to explore and learn! Together we engaged in lots of interesting learning experiences that, not only, supported our understanding of how to keep our teeth and mouths healthy but also our bodies too!
The children confidently shared their knowledge, discussing healthy food options, as they grew their own knowledge and developed a deeper understanding of how to make their own healthy choices. We explored the 'art' of toothbrushing', learning about our different teeth and the range of brushing techniques we can use to keep them clean. Our 'buddying Dentists' practiced brushing pretend teeth and also dressed up as teeth themselves, so their friends could practice brushing away all of the sugary foods from their little tooth costumes.
Very soon a little Dentist office had evolved and everyone was super excited to explore and practice their new skills! Our little Dentists were booking appointments left, right, and centre, making sure that everyone (including the teachers) had clean, healthy teeth! And finally, no project is complete without a little bit of science! Using eggs and common sugary drinks really gave us all a great understanding of what happens when you indulge in too many sweet things! Our amazing children had learned so much that they were all able to make the predictions that water and milk would keep our teeth strong and healthy.
