Reception- All about me

 Our topic this half term has been 'We are a community', as part of this, we have been learning how to look after ourselves so we can be healthy. 

We started the week off by practising and showing how we wash our hands. The children covered their hands in glitter as 'germs' and then demonstrated how to wash their hands to ensure all the germs were gone!

Later on, we looked at keeping our teeth clean and had to use toothpaste to clean the dirt off the teeth. We discussed what might happen if we don't brush our teeth regularly. 

Ayla- ‘we get toothache’
Thomas -‘if you don’t brush your teeth they will go yellow and fall out and then you will have smelly breath’
Mason- ‘or you might get cavities, they are the germs on your teeth’

Finally, we discussed healthy eating and what foods we could eat to give us energy and keep us feeling full.
