Junior Hui

At the moment it feels like just about everyone has lost a tooth! Today we took turns to speak on the microphone at our Junior School Hui. Ka pai Room 4.







Happy Smile
Got my toothpaste, got my brush,
I won’t hurry, I won’t rush.
Making sure my teeth are clean, front and back and in between.
When I brush for quite a while,
I will have a happy smile!

Fun Facts About Teeth to Keep you Smiling


In Science we learnt that…

·                  Humans get two sets of teeth...
·     Baby teeth usually get replaced by adult teeth between the ages of 6 and 12. So don’t worry if you haven’t lost a tooth yet!
·     
  • Chimpanzees have 32 teeth, the same as humans.

  • Like a tree, you can tell how old a dolphin is by the layers in its teeth. 

·         Sharks’ teeth fall out very easily, but the next row replaces them within a few days.
·     
         Lions don’t chew before they swallow. They just use their back teeth, which work         like a pair of scissors, to cut up meat in chunks. 
·     
         An alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in one lifetime.


Science Alive

We really enjoy 'I Wonder Wednesdays' in Room 4. 


























Cecil The Lion

We read in the newspaper about a lion named Cecil... We did some thinking about showing respect for our environment. 





Maths is FUN!

We love maths in Room 4!

We can count, measure, problem solve and work together!
