The Brighouse Experience

 The adventure begins....

30 children from Year 4 volunteered to go to Brighouse, deep in the  countryside in a place called Atherstone.

The children experienced a range of activities...lunch in the local park which they made themselves 

Working together safely to to create bucket campfires which each group was responsible for fuelling.

They were greatly appreciated because it was rather cold!

Constructing tents proved to be rather challenging! Especially when the wind blew....and a tent rolled far away into the distance! 

Team work prevailed ! 

It's fair to say tent building wasn't as easy as they thought it was going to be!

There were many long walks through the countryside... keeping road safety at the forefront of everyone's minds.

Some walks were ..er...rather challenging...oh dear!

Steep muddy hills taught all manner of problem solving skills.

Maybe we should have taken a different path???

But everyone was determined to make it...no matter what!!!

Many hills were conquered, many steps were taken and the children worked really hard in their teams to complete all challenges set before them. Including making dinner (pizza topping time), breakfast (who knew Coco pops could spill so far) and a scary night walk with torches. The children had a fabulous time and learned many life skills. 

Children in Need 2021

 Here at Welford, we love to raise money for great causes! 😎 Year 4 had a great time raising money for Children in Need on Friday 19th November 2021! We dressed up in spotty and dotty clothing, Pudsey themed clothes and some of us even dressed up as our heroes!

We took part in Mrs Foster's special Children in Need colouring challenge and were also given a spotty, dotty cupcake to enjoy as part of our fundraising efforts!

Can you guess who we are?!😛

The money we have raised will go towards helping children and families in the UK who may be suffering from different circumstances! We will be making a huge difference to the lives of others! 💛

How clean are your teeth?

As part of our Science work on teeth, Year 4 have been learning about good oral hygiene. After learning about the importance of brushing our teeth and eats healthily, we investigated our own oral health with the help of disclosing tablets! 

The disclosing tablets temporarily stained our teeth to show the plaque on them. We used mirrors to reveal hidden truths about our teeth! 👀

Fact - Plaque is an invisible film of bacteria and sugars on the surface of your teeth producing acid which causes tooth decay. 

We had some surprising results! 😱 It is clear that some of us should spend more time focusing on certain areas of our mouth when brushing our teeth!

All in all, we had a fantastic time, and learnt lots about our oral hygiene! Would you risk finding out more about your teeth?!
