Year 1 Healthy Lifestyle

Year 1 are learning about the different food groups and which our bodies need to be healthy in D&T this half term. This week they have been grouping fruit and vegetables then listing their 5 favourite pieces to eat in a day. 

To coincide with healthy eating, we also had a visit from the dental team in Torrington. Using mouth models, they practised brushing to remove the plaque and checking it using UV torch lights. They also discussed and sorted food which were good for your teeth or not and noticed that sometimes healthy foods for our body may not be good for our teeth, so we need to think about the way we eat them, eating them with a meal and limiting the amount we have.
