On Friday Caitríona Byrne. a mum from St. Brigid's who works as a dental nurse came to visit Junior Infants, Senior Infants and 1st Class.  Caitríona talked about the importance of brushing our teeth twice a day and showed the girls how to do this using a large model of teeth.  The girls learned all about how sugar attacks our teeth and they played a game identifying which foods and drinks were good or bad for their teeth.  Caitríona gave the classes posters about dental hygiene and games to play to help to reinforce their learning.  Each of the girls were given a new toothbrush so they could practise what they had learned straight away.  Many thanks to Caitríona for this very enjoyable learning experience!
