Education Visit
Mount Carmel First School
Primary school in Redditch . Close connection with school and opportunity to gather children ’ s thoughts .
By visiting Mount Carmel I have been able to learn how dental health is implemented into the education system . This also gives me ample opportunity to have direct contact to the target audience of this exploration .
I initially approached the class and teacher with a short series of questions :
• Do they find it boring brushing their teeth
• What else do they do as part of their routine
• How can it be made more fun ? E . g . if the toothpaste fizzed orange for example
I also managed to engage the children in an interactive activity by demonstrating how much toothpaste they use to brush their teeth
