DENTAL HEALTH!

Our teeth have a “shell” called enamel to protect them. A tooth’s “shell” is similar to the one of an egg. We put an egg in water, two in coke and two in vinegar till the following day.

RESULTS:

The eggs in coke were stained.

The ones in vinegar were soft and had lost their shell.

The egg in water hadn't changed.

Bacteria in our mouth form a sticky material called plaque. These bacteria “eat” the sugar and food in the mouth and form acids like vinegar. These acids break the “shell” that protects our teeth and cavities can “attack” them.

Hey all!

These past two weeks we worked a lot. We have been practising recognition of food vocabulary by looking at pictures and reading their names. There are three lovely games on the games section for the kids to practise. We completed many pages on the booklet: 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33 and 34.

We worked on classifying food into healthy and unhealthy and connected this topic to a very interesting       

science topic: DENTAL HEALTH. We carried out an experiment, you can read about it in the next entry. Ask the children to show you how to do it. We talked about the importance of brushing our teeth and the consequences they have when we eat or drink sugar. We watched a video about brushing our teeth. 

THE BRUSH BUS

We worked on numbers almost every day. We are learning how to read them by playing some games and matching activities. We also completed page 6 from the booklet. 

We finished the third group of sounds, now we know all these:

Play some games to practise. There are many on the games sections!

We will continue practising these until the mid-term exams. Only the first three groups will be tested.

We read a new story from our lovely “Fat cat and other tales”. We read:

We also learnt new prepositions:  IN- ON- UNDER. We practised prepositions on pages 87, 88, 89 and 90.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! See you soon!
