Teeth Brushing

Tuesday (14/07/2009)

a) Proper Ways To Brush Teeth
· Justin said we had to brush the front teeth sideways first and then brush the inner teeth.
· Sharlene said we should brush up and down.
· Shu Wei said her dentist advises 3 minutes brushing.
· We read Guan Yi’s book. It said we should brush softly up to down continuously for 2 – 3 minutes to avoid gum bleeding.

b) Video Clip: Teeth
· We watched a dentist who advised us. We must brush our teeth on the left or right first. Place the brush near the gum and teeth. Brush down a few times to get rid of the stuck food. Then, brush them in circles for about 20 times. Next, move to the front and right teeth. Then, only go the inner teeth. Lastly, brush our tongue one way down.
· Some people use a device to brush their tongue. Some people use floss to floss the teeth between as food might get stuck. Some with bad breath or who want hygiene would rinse with Listerine.

c) Worksheet: Teeth
* We learned words: mouth, lips, teeth, toothbrush, toothpaste.
* Then, the kids labeled and coloured them.

d) Practice: Sports Day
* The girls practiced Cheerleading while the boys practiced Basketball Movements in groups.
