Personal Hygiene

Cleanliness01

Cleanliness and personal hygiene are an important aspect of our lives. It is very important to teach our students, from a very early age, how to avoid the transfer of germs and how to keep our teeth clean.

Ms Joanne, taught her  K1.1 students how teeth should be properly brushed. Unless teeth are thoroughly brushed, teeth may easily decay, especially when consuming sweets, and acidic drinks.Cleanliness03

Finally the students made a collage of healthy teeth and decayed teeth.

Little chefs at work…

The Kinder 2 student of Ms Janice and Ms Maria, together with their LSA, Ms Marika, prepared a delicious pizza. While some students were cooking the others were cutting out coloured paper and made a pizza collage. All students had time to do their cooking and their own collage.

Such activities provide students with an opportunity to enhance their fine motor skills and to instil a love for cooking.

The five senses…

The Kinder 1 students of Ms Joanne, have been exploring the five senses. To help in the students learn more about sight, the students were asked to wear glasses with different coloured lenses. This made them aware of how our eye sight works.

Senses

To explore the sense of touch, students listened to a story animated by a student KGA and then made a craft using different textured materials.
