Healthy Eating

Last week, we had the visit of the Public Health Nurse. We invited her to talk to the children about healthy eating. Here are a few classroom activities that helped children learn more about healthy eating and healthy dental hygiene:

The Public Health Nurse talked about the importance of 

brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day. 

In this activity, we had the children practise subitizing with

a dice.

After reading the story of "The Foolish Old Lady" who only ate

 junk food, the children helped her make better choices 

by choosing food low in sugar, fat and salt.

The children looked at x-rays of teeth.
