Did you know that, tooth decay affects around a quarter of five-year olds in England? Tooth decay is also the leading cause of hospital admissions for five to nine-year-olds.

But.. did you know that tooth decay is almost entirely preventable?

Children should brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes to help keep both their teeth and mouth healthy. Children don’t need to use special children’s toothpaste. Children of all ages can use family toothpaste, as long as it contains 1,350 to 1,500ppm fluoride.

The poster below explains how and when children should brush their teeth!

Key Stage 2 Tree Planting

Monday 11th March

Children in Key Stage 2 have been planting trees in the school grounds with OASES
(Outdoor and Sustainable Education Service). The ground was very muddy but everyone had a great time and learned more about the positive impact of tree planting.

We are looking forward to welcoming families of children in Years 3 and 4 to school for their performances of Shakespeare Rocks, which will take place on March 13th and 14th at 6pm.
Please could all children in these classes arrive at 5.30pm on both nights.

Thank you
