This week we made burgers to finish off our topic on America. We had great fun and enjoyed our day immensely. Thank you again to Bramfield Meats for donating some mince to us.

We have also created Easter cards, celebrated the Eggcellent Egg entries and made some mini egg rice crispy cakes. One of Wenhaston's traditions followed today with our visit to the heath to roll our decorated eggs. We had lots of fun preparing and rolling the eggs.

Well done for a fantastic week of hard work and another set of assessments completed.

Class 4 have been authors this week. They completed their final drafts of their stories and we made them into books. Thursday afternoon, we went to Class 1 to read our stories to reception class. Most of them really enjoyed them and gave us lots of lovely comments.

We were also artists this week as we did some printing. Our work has been put up outside our classroom for everyone to see. Our artwork this term has been inspired by American Pop Art artist, Andy Warhole.

On Thursday, some of us went to Bungay High School for an Easter Maths competition. Our team did really well (Coming joint 1st) in the competition. Their work is currently being displayed in the corridor on the Thinking Things Through board if you would like to see it.

Well done for another fabulous week and we wish all the mothers  a Happy Mother's Day for Sunday. Hopefully you like the messages we put in the Bungay and Beccles Journal and the cards we made in school.

We also enjoyed the weather this week, going outside for some of our Science lesson. We stood in a circle and joined feet. We were the wires and then the balls going round the circle were the current. We also had someone acting as our bulb. We then discussed what happens when a wire doesn't work.

Finally, we enjoyed getting out the apparatus in P.E this week. Our balancing has improved hugely!

This week in Class 4, we enjoyed creating some pictures in the style of Andy Warhol. Look at us hard at work and look at our colourful display outside our classroom.

We have also been authors this week, creating our very own picture book style stories. Next week we are going to be sharing our stories with reception class. We hope they like them!

Below, you can also see us hard at work in our Science lessons. We have been learning about circuits.

Monday 3rd March-Friday 10th March

Year 5 completed a series of problem solving questions this Friday during their Maths lesson, whilst Year 6 had a quiz to help them revise all the recent maths they have covered.

This week we presented to the class our research on the different areas of America we have been learning about. Each group studied a different area (as America is so big) and then we taught each other what we had learnt. We all had a power point, posters and a 3D landmark to show. We then all took it in turns to speak about our findings.

Next week we are going to learn about the American Pop Artist, Andy Warhol.

Well done for another week of super work!
