Moss Safari

This term, we have been learning about living things and their habitats.

 

As scientists, we used microscopes to explore moss as a habitat and found some interesting living organisms such as moss mites and rotifers!

Science Week

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.

In between these activities we also had lots of time to play outside, playing an epic game of cricket with the adults, football and rounders too! We watched Ice Age in our pajamas whilst we drank hot chocolate and munched popcorn. 
 
Well done Year 4, you have all done yourselves proud and shown how responsible, respectful and resilient you are!

Miss Summers - the Paralympic Champion!

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.
