We carried out an experiment to find out how different liquids can affect our teeth. We used eggs to represent tooth enamel and placed each egg into a different liquid: milk, water, energy drink, squash, vinegar, coke, and orange juice. Over the week, we observed the eggs to see any changes in colour, texture, or shell strength.

Conclusion:
We discovered that the eggs in sugary or acidic drinks, such as energy drink, squash, coke, orange juice, and vinegar, showed the most damage. Their shells became weaker, stained, or started to break down. The eggs in milk and water stayed mostly the same. This shows that sugary and acidic drinks can damage our teeth over time, while water and milk are safer choices for keeping teeth healthy.

This week, we have been looking at teeth and their different functions. The children used a mirror to spot their incisors, canines, premolars and molars. We also discussed how to keep our teeth really clean and healthy.

This week, we have been celebrating and learning about a range of different faiths. The children used iPads to research a variety of religions, including both some of the oldest and the newest practices around the world today. They explored key beliefs, important festivals, places of worship, and special symbols.

After gathering their research, the children created a detailed two-page spread about their chosen religions. They worked thoughtfully and creatively, presenting their information with care and showing a real interest in understanding the similarities and differences between faiths. It has been a meaningful and reflective week for everyone.

Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Dorchester to visit the Tutankhamun Museum. The children were fascinated by the exhibits, asked thoughtful questions, and showed great enthusiasm as they explored the world of Ancient Egypt. It was a memorable visit that really brought our history learning to life.
