Lift your Lip!

 

Today we had a visit from Sam and Tina our wonderful dental therapists. It is a special oral health week at NEVNS so they came to talk to us about caring for our teeth. We learnt we should brush our teeth twice a day and that we should not rinse out the toothpaste as it has flouride in it and leaving a little on the outside of our teeth will help to protect them. We also learnt about caring for our teeth by eating a healthy diet and drinking plenty of water. Here we are with our treats for our teeth from Sam and Tina, new toothbrushes and toothpaste. Ka rawe!

Confident Kids

 
Today with Constable Somerfield we have been learning to be confident kids. We have been working on knowing what to say and do if someone is doing something to us we don't like. We are confident kids who can keep ourselves safe.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

 
This week we have been working with Constable Somerfield on strategies for keeping ourselves safe in different situations. Today we talked about the parts of our body and learnt that no one touches our bodies without our permission. This made us also think about the way we treat other people.

Harold

Today we had a fantastic visit to the life education bus to see our friends Jacki and Harold. We went on a fascinating train journey around the cirulatory system and learnt all sorts of things about how our heart works. We put some of our ideas into a wordle. We can't wait until our second visit on Monday!
