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
