Artclub Visit to Beechwood Dental Care, Woodlesford



On Thursday 19th July the Reception Artclub were invited to Beechwood Dental Care in Woodlesford to view their paintings they had been creating all term.




The three paintings are inspired by children's stories all about losing teeth.




The first painting as you enter is based on "Titus's Troublesome Tooth" by Linda Jennings and Gwyneth Williamson.  The children have retold the story in comic strip form, depicting all the gruesome ways Titus the Goat's farmyard friends suggest they help get his tooth out!




The second painting is inspired by "Tooth Fairy" by Audrey Wood.  The painting shows the Tooth Fairy Castle made from all the teeth she has collected (the Tooth Elves are still adding to it). The Tooth Fairy can be seen showing two children around the Hall of Perfect Teeth where perfect teeth are displayed on plinths (each pupil has their name on a plinth).  Underneath in the Tooth Dungeon the Tooth Robots are cleaning the "not so perfect teeth", making them beautiful again!




The third painting based on the book Bear's Loose Tooth by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman depicts Bear, with a wobbly tooth and his friends, Mole, Hare, Badger, Wren and Owl trying to pull it out!

We had a lovely time showing our families and friends what we have made. To see them up in the place they were designed for added to the whole experience.

Thankyou to Mr and Mrs Reid, Practice Principals, for letting our children be artists.
