People Who Help Us In Our School Community

As part of our Inquiry Learning we have been thinking and talking about people in our Community. We made a list of all the people who help us and then chose an occupation that we wanted to learn more about. The children chose the Dental Therapist. We invited the Dental Therapist to come and visit our class. We then talked with our buddies about the information we wanted to find out from the Dental Therapist. We made a list of the things we were wondering about. Our questions included - What do you do in the Dental Clinic? How do you fix our teeth? What instruments do you use? Why did you become a Dental Therapist? How do you become a Dental therapist? What is the best thing abut your job?

We made some great discoveries! Talk to your children about the Dental Therapist's answers to these questions and you will too!
