This week I have uploaded a video of your challenge from the Chance 2 Shine cricket website which should be in your Year group folder on BGfL and will be on the school website too.
Have a go at it and let me know how you found it. I will let you into a secret, I found it hard and got into a muddle and kept dropping my pair of socks I was attempting to catch. |
I have also uploaded an Active Challenge card appropriate for your class for you to have a go at as well - these I did manage to do ... just!!!

For today, I made a guitar. All you need is a small, strong food container and some elastic bands.
I didn't have any elastic bands, so I used my daughter's colourful hair bands instead. See if you have a range of different sized ones. Place them over the container and strum away. I have uploaded a video of my 'music'. I hope you can view it. Think about these questions:

- How is the sound made? Can you make it louder/quieter?
- Can you see the vibrations? How fast are the bands vibrating?
- What do you notice about the pitch (how high or low the sound is)?
- How does the pitch relate to how tight/loose the bands are?

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. |
