BFG Project
Our class is reading the BFG! (Big Friendly Giant) It is one of our favorite read-alouds. One of our final projects we have in 4th grade is creating and presenting giant-sized objects that would be suitable for the BFG to live among the “human beans.” Your kids are aware of the math they need to configure to create these items, however, they might need a little guidance from you to finish this project at home.
Here are the requirements: The item your child chooses must be 4 times the size of a regular human bean item. Examples might include a toothbrush, books, car keys, and socks. (Example if the toothbrush is 4 inches long, we times it by 4 and now we have a 16-inch toothbrush.)
The item must be practical. (We need to be able to carry the item to and from school.) Have fun with this as it is something for them to be creative and enjoy!
Students can start bringing in their items when they complete it, starting on May 19, but we will present our projects the day we watch the BFG movie and drink “frobscottle” on May 23. This will be a much-deserved fun project/party to celebrate all the hard work we have put in for testing! Thank you for your support- let me know if you have questions on this project!
