We have been exploring pitch this week. We made musical instruments to create a table orchestra. The aim was to make sure that our musical instruments could create notes with a different pitch. Tight, thin objects made a higher pitcher and loose, thick objects made a lower pitch.

 Yesterday in maths, the children were using a ruler to measure the length of objects.  They also learnt the word centimeters. 

 Hockey dribbling exercises have been helping Year 4 to further develop their control and co-ordination during team sports.

 We have been lucky enough to have a Nature Club member (Dustin) bring in some owl pellets for us to look at. It was time well spent pulling them apart to see the tiny treasures inside and gain a deepr understanding of how other creatures exist along side us. Mr Hopegood :)

   Please practise these spellings at home as the children will assessed on them on Friday. We will also be working on them every day in school but any further practise at home will always help.

 Although we arrived at Mountfitchet Castle later than planned Year 4 had an excellent and informative time. We were particularly pleased with the levels of sensible engagement with interactive exhibits, good and polite behaviour and amazed that no-one fell over! Thanks to all the staff that were supporting and Mr Murphy for his broom.
