The wonderful Bev, who is a dental nurse, came into talk with us about keeping our teeth healthy.

We had to prove to her that we had been listening, by brushing our teeth then using a disclosing tablet to show any areas of hidden plaque. Keep up with the regular two minutes of brushing!

In school and at home, we have had fun using eggshells (representing the enamel of our teeth) to set up various investigations.

Now we know what damage acid does to our teeth and it’s disgusting so make sure that fluoride toothpaste is used well to coat all the teeth.

We have been learning about plants and where better to start than in our extended classroom – on the allotment. Who thought weeding could be so much fun, when you are on a root hunt!

Back in the classroom, we took a closer look at our specimens using microscopes and magnifying glasses. The microscopes were tricky to use at first until we realised that the root being examined had to be very fine to show up under the lens.
