News from Nurse Jess

Hello to the Yarrabah Community

I hope you are all doing well during these challenging times and although it can be tough please remember to be kind to yourself and know that your best IS good enough. Like everyone at Yarrabah, I am missing seeing all the gorgeous smiley faces of our students and I hope that we’ll be back at school together soon! Whilst we are learning from home I will be posting a weekly segment called “What’s news with Nurse Jess” this will involve some healthy tips and tricks that I would love to share with our families. So hopefully the kids enjoy the videos and are able to learn some important health facts!

This week I have covered the importance of Oral health and ensuring we brush our teeth well at least TWICE a day! I talk about the germs that are found in our mouth and if we don’t clean our teeth regularly this can lead to us getting very sick. So please follow the link below to watch my video and i hope your child enjoys the catchy song to brush their teeth along to! I’ve also attached below a Teeth Brushing chart which you can print and hang in your bathroom, this is a great way for your child to keep track of regular teeth brushing.

Stay safe and keep washing those hands.
