Last week, dental therapist, Leanne Lovell, visited Apollo to talk about the importance of keeping our teeth clean. For the children that wanted to, they were able to take a disclosing tablet that showed where their teeth needed an extra brushing! 🦷

On Monday, Apollo visitied Solihull on the bus after being invited to the Civic Suite to meet with the Mayor. We were shown around her office, where there are treasures from world leaders visits, and the chamber, where she presides over meetings. The children showed our PRIDE values throughout the visit, and were particularly inquisitive when finding out all about the Mayor's role. We also signed the Mayor's visitors book - the very first children from Apollo to sign!
