Wow, what a fantastic week Foundation have had. We have been learning all about how to keep ourselves healthy by deciding which food we should have in our packed lunch.

We decided that fruit and vegetables were healthy and we should eat lots of these foods. This was confirmed when the Dentist came to visit us and told us the same thing. He also told us how important it was to brush our teeth and what would happen if we didn't. Reception asked fantastic questions, "What do you do at the dentist?" said Ethan. Nephtalie asked "What will happen if we don't brush our teeth?"

We also learnt about how we could make our own rocket fly. We created rockets that flew in the air by creating pressure through looking at different reactions. When the parents came to visit us on Wednesday afternoon they helped us too!
