For Science week, we set up an experiment to investigate what damages our teeth the most and how we can look after our teeth. As scientist, we made our predictions and carried out observation over time to see the damage caused to the eggshell (teeth) overtime in different liquids and recorded our findings. After a week of careful observations, we used our results to write our conclusion.

Miss Summers has recently joined us in 4 Milhazes as she completes the final placement of her Teaching degree with us at Bridgewater. Not only is Miss Summers being kept busy with teacher training, but she also swims eight times a week! That's because she is a Paralympic Swimming champion, and is currently training for Paris 2024.
Miss Summers won 2 gold medals at the Tokyo Paralympics and is also the world record holder for the SM6 200m Individual Medley.
Miss Summers kindly spoke to the children in 4 Milhazes about her career as a Paralympian, and not only did she show them some of her collection of medals, but they were also allowed to hold them. The children also had the opportunity to ask Miss Summers about her career and what it takes to become a Paralympic champion. We found the talk very inspiring and we were reminded to show resilience in not giving up on our goals and ambitions.

Our Harvest Celebration
We had great fun rehearsing and performing our Harvest Celebration, 'Project Planet'. We enjoyed practising the songs - we could often be heard singing on the playground and our voices carried down the corridors as we became more confident.

Autumn Term in Year 4 was an exciting time as the children settled into their new classes and got to know their new teachers.
Our Trip to Abington Park
We went to Abington Park Museum to understand more about how the Ancient Egyptians lived and the ceremony they held after someone died, which was called 'The Opening of The Mouths'. We listened to a Historian as they told us about the ceremony, and were then given parts to play within our re-enactment of the ceremony. We were also able to write our names in Hieroglyphs, using a wooden reed and ink just like the Ancient Egyptian scribes!
We each had our own role to play in our re-enactment of the Opening of the Mouth Ceremony.

We worked hard to write our names in Hieroglyphs. We used a wooden reed and ink - which was rather messy!
