1. Visit your Dentist regularly, at least once per year.
2. Reduce sugary foods and drinks and restrict them to mealtimes.
3. Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a toothpaste containing at least 1000pm fluoride.

 

Anna has loved helping Grace, Calum and Alexander with their Google Classroom work. They had great fun creating a sarcophagus for Calum’s ancient Egypt project in 4.19.

Anna loved counting out and painting the pasta for the sarcophagus. She did really well remembering the pattern for the design. She also made a great mummy!
