We were fortunate to have Dr Carol visit our online classroom to teach us some more about how to care for our teeth. Although we already knew a lot about how to care for our teeth, Dr Carol told us some things that surprised us.

We learned that water is the very best drink we can have for healthy teeth. Having a healthy diet and not many sugary snacks helps to reduce the bacteria in our mouths. We learned that sugary food and drinks feed the bacteria in our mouth and this creates acid, which causes cavities. So it is really important to avoid sugary foods and drinks.

We were surprised to hear that there is even sugar in potato chips and pasta! Dr Carol challenged us to inquire into how much sugar is in different types of fruit and veges.

We enjoyed leading Ms Simpson in fitness one morning and then joining in one of her dances.

Pratiksha’s page shows some of our learning in this 3 day week.

We are looking forward to welcoming a few more class members back to school face to face next week and working in our new learning space…which is almost ready. Enjoy the long weekend.
