Welcome to Ash Class! We are a mixed year 5 and 6 class (9 – 11 years old). Mr Chipperfield is the class teacher and Mrs Foster and Miss Chatfield are our teaching assistants and work in our classroom. We also work with several other teachers during the week: Mrs Crawley teaches us art; on Thursday afternoons we take part in Orchestra with Mrs Newton our music teacher, Mrs Newton also teaches violin and recorder lessons. We have other visiting music teachers too, so there are lots of opportunities to learn to play different instruments such as the guitar, clarinet and flute.
Throughout the year we have different high school teachers visit our class so that they can get to know us before we leave primary school at the end of year 6. During these visits we get to take part in maths challenges and some really exciting science practicals, which are great fun. We also regularly get invited to Bungay High School to take part in various experiences and competitions from Battle of the Books to The Science Challenge, all of which are great opportunities. Many sporting events take place throughout the year too, some of which are at local high schools but many at other primary schools. These are great chances to get to know other children in your year group who may be going to the same high school as you. We have lots of fun and many opportunities to take part in extra curricular activities and clubs, both at lunchtime and after school. This year we went to Colchester castle to discover the what happend when Boudicca and her friends visited.
This is Ash class exploring the museum at Colchester as part of our Roman history topic
It was a lot of fun!
And we learnt a lot.
As part of our History lesson he learnt about Roman and Iceni military equipment. For homework we created our own versions, the results were quite impressive.

Mrs Allen's Reading challenge - BOOK BINGO
Mrs Allen has set a challenge for all children in the school. Here is a list of classic recommended books to read. There is a copy of each book in the classroom. We recommend INDIGO for year 5 and VIOLET for year 6. If you child is a reluctant reader you might like to look at the GREEN list - these books are full of fun and are designed to get children back into reading.
