Great writing.
This week we have produced some top quality writing in class 4, it has been a rel pleasure marking so many fantastic ideas and seeing the progress our class is making! The language choices and use of the new techniques we have been learning about has been of the highest level!
In maths we have been learning about measure and have had some investigations into how much liquid different containers hold as well as learning to read scales and convert between related units.
In science we have continued our work on the body with year 5 making working models of the elbow using card, paper clips and elastic bands. We learned that muscles work in pairs and how they attach to the bones.
We started our sessions with Colchester United on Tuesday and the attitude and behaviour of class 4 was, as expected, outstanding. I have also been very impressed this week with the level of homework produced.
Next week we will be finishing our writing set in New Zealand and in maths we will be looking more at converting units of measure as well as looking at addition strategies. I hope you have all had a great weekend and are now ready to come back into school ready to learn!
PS photos of our activities from the past week will follow in the next few days!

Welcome back!
Happy New Year to you all, I hope it has been a restful break.
It has been lovely to have the children back in school today, they have all been full of enthusiasm and excitement in order to get themselves going with their new topic around the theme of New Zealand.
From next week we will have Colchester United coming into school on a Tuesday to lead football sessions for our PE. We will be writing stories set in New Zealand and linking maths into the topic where possible.
If anybody has any artifacts/photographs etc from New Zealand that they would like to share with the class that would be very much appreciated.
This afternoon the children were introduced to their new topic and seem thrilled to be learning about another culture from so far away.
In science we will be looking at human bodies and how they work.
