Tooth-brushing Challenge

25th May 2016

This year, Primary Four and Primary Five have been taking part in a tooth-brushing challenge.  Norma, our dentist, tested the children's teeth for plaque at the beginning of the school year.  She used a purple dye which stained the teeth the children had not brushed that day.  The children were then set a challenge to improve their dental hygiene before she returned.  Norma returned later on in the year and re-tested the children's teeth.  They children were presented with certificates for their effort and the children who had improved their tooth-brushing skills were awarded a medal.  Both classes were competing for best class for overall improvement!  For the first time, both classes won with a draw!  The cup will be shared between the classes in the forthcoming year.  Well done guys!
