Shoebox Appeal
Mrs Tooth from the charity Blythswood Care came to visit the Global Committee. She gave us advice on how to fill and wrap our shoe boxes.
We are proud to take part in this appeal and look forward to sending presents to Eastern Europe this Christmas.
Thank you to everyone in our community who is helping us with this.
Spooky Happenings in P2/3/4
P1/2 Teeth Talk
Mrs Thomson, Layla’s Mummy, came in to class this morning to talk to us about looking after our teeth properly.
We were able to impress her with all of our knowledge from our Health topic which has been teeth. We have learned:
– the names of the different teeth we have as children and adults (canines, incisors, pre molars and molars)
– how to look after our teeth properly, including brushing twice a day, eating and drinking healthily
– we know how much fluoride we should have in our toothpaste (1000 ppm by the way!)
Alongside our Dinosaur topic, we used our knowledge of teeth to compare our teeth with the teeth that dinosaurs had. We know that herbivores would have had teeth like molars to grind food whilst carnivores would have teeth like canines for tearing their food.
Mrs Thomson brought along her friend Derek who showed us how to brush our teeth properly. We were given a toothbrush and toothpaste to help us keep our teeth healthy. Thank you Mrs Thomson!
Time Stoppers in P2/3/4
P2/3/4 were out in the sunshine this afternoon! Everyone had fun learning how to use a stopwatch, timing themselves doing various activities in the playground. They also created an excellenct table in their jotters to display their findings.
