Healthy, Clean Teeth - KS1 - Year 1

Healthy, clean teeth KS1 PSHE lesson.  A one-hour long, very detailed, fully resourced PSHE lesson suitable for KS1. This lesson has been created for Year 1, however, the activities are also suitable for use in Year 2, or even younger students in KS2 (Year 3). In this lesson, the children will learn about oral health and the reasons why we need to floss and brush our teeth. We will discuss the role of germs in causing tooth decay and identify how oral hygiene can prevent cavities from forming. The lesson includes a case study starter, a video clip with accompanying questions, a practical teeth cleaning activity using laminated worksheets, and a plenary task. Created to fit the new DfE and PSHE Association statutory 2020 /21 guidelines, the lesson includes a detailed PowerPoint, all editable with accompanying tasks and worksheets. The lesson has been left editable and is filled with engaging, well differentiated and fun activities. It is designed to be ‘no prep’, so you can just pick it up and use it, although it is still adaptable should you wish to.
