Good Afternoon Year 4!

We will mostly be having a break from BGfL, to spend time with our families, but you will find a daily Easter challenge posted in the Year 4 folder from different members of staff. You don't have to do the

We will mostly be having a break from BGfL, to spend time with our families, but you will find a daily Easter challenge posted in the Year 4 folder from different members of staff. You don't have to do the
challenge on that particular day, but by the end of the two weeks you will have a variety of different activities to pick and choose from. We hope you enjoy them and hope you will put pictures for us all to see.
Take care and stay safe.

On Friday 28th February, Year 4 did a fair test experiment to see which toothpaste was the most effective. They tested three different toothpaste brands by trying to clean permanent marker from a whiteboard. The results were mixed, but one thing we concluded was that the most expensive toothpaste didn’t necessarily clean better than the cheapest one.
Here is a picture of William at the Hippodrome. As a member of the Choir group Ex Cathedra, William has been chosen to sing in the performance of The Nutcracker by the Birmingham Royal Ballet.
After a dress rehearsal on Friday 22nd November, he's sung at both last weekend's matinees of the show. He's singing at weekend performances and some evenings until the end of the run on Saturday 14th December. If anyone is going, they should listen out for him during the Snowflake Waltz at the end of Act 1. |

On Friday 25th January, Year 4 experimented melting chocolate.
On Friday 21st December, Year 4 investigated static electricity. We were experimenting with balloons to see if we could attract shapes made of different paper.
On the 19th October 2018, the children used various materials to make switches and tested them in their circuit to see if they worked.
Lest we forget
Year 4 have been thinking about Remembrance day and, particularly significant this year, the centenary of the end of the First World War.
We have been learning about not just soldiers who came from all around the world to fight but also those who were left at home. We learned about how children, women and men who were too old to fight, helped the war effort.
Some of the children did their own research at home including finding out about their own relatives who were affected by the war or fought in the war. We have listened to songs and read poems and diaries of people from the time. As we reflected on the end of this war, which at the time was described as and hoped to be, the war to end all wars, we wrote letters of thanks to people who were alive at the time. Then we created pictures using silhouettes and beautiful sunset colours, to remember, lest we forget.
