- brush teeth twice a day for two minutes
- visit a dentist regularly
- drink water
- eat foods low in sugar
- floss
Here are some of the don’ts:
- forget to brush your teeth
- drink a lot of fizzy drinks
- eat foods high in sugar
- spit out toothpaste straight away
- rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth as it washes away the fluoride (which helps prevent plaque
I was really impressed with how much the children knew and got some good tips!

Computing: sequence in algorithms using Scratch Jr
In our computing lesson today, we’ve been learning about how important sequence is when creating algorithms.

Skip into summer
This term, all classes will be taking part in the West Yorkshire Skip into Summer project with Skipping School. We are excited to be part of the 136 schools and almost 33,000 children taking part!
As part of this project, we have skipping ropes available to buy at a subsidised price of £3.
If your child would like to buy a rope, to keep learning their new skills at home, they will be on sale, outside the Year 1 classroom in the middle playground, 3:10-3:30pm on Thursdays and Fridays. Exact change would be helpful.

Speeches have been delivered. Candidates have been questioned. Votes have been cast. Exit polls suggest a close race. Results will be announced after lunch!
A massive well done to everyone who took a safe risk and put themselves forward as a candidate. We really enjoyed and were really impressed by your speeches. A lot of time and thought went into them. I’m sure whoever’s elected in Year 4 will do a great job!
