This week, our Year 2 children have been learning all about oral health and the importance of looking after their teeth! 🦷✨

The children explored why we need to brush our teeth twice a day, how healthy food choices help keep our teeth strong, and what can happen if we do not take good care of them. They enjoyed discussing good dental hygiene habits and learning about visits to the dentist.

We are so proud of how engaged the children were and the fantastic discussions they had about keeping their smiles healthy and bright! 😁

Why not ask your child to share some of the top tips they learned about caring for their teeth?

Today, Year 5 were treated to a truly unforgettable experience as Alexia from Gazebo visited school to share captivating stories about hidden treasures as part of our Black History Month celebrations.

The children were completely immersed as Alexia brought the stories to life, taking everyone on an exciting journey filled with mystery, adventure and imagination. The highlight of the session was seeing Alexia get fully into character, encouraging both children and teachers to join in with dancing and storytelling.

Many were excited to learn that Alexia is well known for being the original Anne of Cleves in the hit West End musical Six. Her energy, talent and enthusiasm shone throughout the visit, inspiring everyone in the room.

A huge thank you to Alexia for such a fantastic performance and for creating memories that our Year 5 children will treasure for a long time to come. She was absolutely amazing! 🌟💃📚

At Loxdale, we value pupil voice. Every day, our children take part in our "Miss School, Miss...?" discussions, sharing what they enjoy most about school and what they would miss if they were absent. These conversations provide a wonderful insight into what is important to our children and help promote positive attitudes towards attendance, reminding us that every day in school matters. 💛

Well done, Year 3 Chestnut! 👏✨
