Teeth and Dental Hygiene in Year 4
Year 4 have been learning about teeth; the different types and uses and how to look after them. We were visited by Tracey, a dental health expert, who taught us how to look after our teeth to keep them healthy and strong. If your child does not have a dentist, look out for a link to all the local dentists taking on new patients. We will share it as soon as we have it.

Around the World

The children at DJS have been busy prepping this year's entry into Driffield Town Council's annual trail. This year's theme is 'Around the World' and DJS were challenged with 'Egypt'.
