Parenta's October Magazine
As the nights draw in and the autumn leaves begin to fall this month, we’re all set to smile here at Parenta HQ in anticipation of World Smile Day® on October 4th, and we encourage you to do the same in your own settings with some advice on oral health and hygiene to give your smiles that special something! October is also Black History Month so it’s a great time to celebrate the enormous contribution that Black British communities have made, not only to the UK, but to science, the arts and different cultures all around the world. See page 16 for more on how you can get involved in your own setting. The change in season also gives us a great chance to get out and about in nature and Tamsin Grimmer’s article offers some tips on donning the wellies and making the most of the season. There’s also a creative Halloween craft in the form of ‘Fred, the friendly Halloween spider’ to make and enjoy.
