Knowledge and understanding - looking after our teeth
Reception have been learning about the importance of brushing our teeth and visiting the dentist.
We discussed the book ‘Teeth’ by Liz Gogerly and Mike Gordon. We learnt how to brush our teeth by adding toothpaste to the toothbrush and how important it was to brush our teeth twice a day to keep our teeth healthy. The children talked about when they have visited the dentist and learnt that it is not something to worry about.
We then sequenced pictures to show our tooth brushing routine. The children then took home an information leaflet and toothbrush donated by a local dentist called ‘Clarendon Dental Spa.’ We hope to have another local dentist, Street Lane Practice, visit soon to share more information about dentists in our local community.
Reuben – “You need to keep your clean. You need to put toothpaste on your toothbrush and brush your teeth.”
Stanley G – “We learnt about brushing our teeth every single day. We learnt not to be afraid of going to the dentist.”
