Today was our first official Wellbeing Wednesday. The children were invited to dress in red and bring their toothbrushes. We modelled good tooth brushing with the children encouraging them to clean their teeth at the back, behind, etc. and all children with toothbrushes cleaned their teeth. We discussed good and bad snacks to eat and when it is best to eat sweets and chocolate etc.
We also role played wearing our seatbelts in the car to emphasise our safety point of our Wellbeing Wednesday. Children talked about wearing their seatbelts in the car and parents were given an information leaflet about seatbelts.
