Pancake Tuesday
This week in forth class it was pancake Tuesday. On Wednesday we got to dance outside with the speakers. On Wednesday it was also Ash Wednesday and for that we got ashes. It was also Valentine’s day and we made cards for our families. On Tuesday we learned about Busy Bodies.

Water and Yoga!
Fourth class are very lucky to have the chance to do yoga at school!
Last week, the class held a day-long experiment. Each child was encouraged to drink one litre of water in a day to see if it made any difference. It did! Some results included an increase in concentration, homework being completed faster and, of course, and increase in trips to the toilet!
We are hard at work learning our Peace Proms songs this month for our upcoming rehearsal.
Busy Bodies has begun and the children are learning all about their bodies and how they grow and change.
Some topics chosen by the girls for their presentations recently include Inspiring Women, the country of Brazil, swallows and astronauts. The standard of work in the girls’ presentations has really risen and their creativity is very impressive. Keep it up!
Merry Christmas!
After a week of Christmas concerts and a half day of meditation, yoga and music, Fourth Class wishes all families a safe and happy Christmas!
Soundwaves
The Science experiment this week was about creating soundwaves. Fourth class made soundwaves and ripples in their popcorn ‘instrument’ using elastic bands!
Lines and angles
Using coloured tape and card, the girls created angles on a sheet. They worked with their group to mark the acute angles and obtuse angles. Have a look!
Japanese Multiplication and Dance Parties
As part of Game Time this week, some girls learned the complicated rules of Japanese Multiplication.
Thanks to the Active School Committee, fourth class took part in an impromptu dance party in the yard this morning!
