Smile - The Nursery gave our Dental Nurse a huge smile!, by Mrs Hall

Date: 15th Oct 2016 @ 6:48pm

We were happy to get a visit from our Dental Nurse this week.

She explained how we should look after our teeth and brush them at least twice daily.

We found out how to clean our teeth and how we should visit the dentist.

We also  found out which foods make our teeth happy like fruit, vegetables and milk  and which to eat less of such as sweets and biscuits.

Some of us also dressed up and became the dentist and patient.

We are going to be brushing our teeth at School too.

Happy Harvest!, by Miss Percival

Date: 10th Oct 2016 @ 8:39am

In Year 6 we have been doing a lot of work on Harvest and learning about the importance of sharing food with others. 

As part of a DT task, we designed, planned and then created 'Rainbow Salads' which contained a range of fruits in various colours. We learnt all about the nutritional value of each fruit and how it helped our bodies and designed our salads around this. We chopped up the fruit and mixed up our salads before eating them together.

Happy Harvest to everyone...
