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!
