Whizz, bang, wallop!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

It was great to have a full week with the children this week and we certainly started it and finished it on a high!

Let's see what the children have been up to this week...

Science Day

We had a fabulous day on Monday didn't we Year Five? You made Marble Runs, constructed towers to hold OXO cubes, looked closely at snails, had fun with kitchen science, handled, observed and drew special natural objects and, took part in an incredible Chemistry Show.

Here are a few pictures of the day:

Explorer Dome's Chemistry Show

Observe and Draw Natural Objects with Mrs Ray

Creepy Crawlies (aka Slimy Snails!) with Mr Duffy

Marble Run with Mrs Daniel

The winners of this challenge were 5CW's Marble Devils who managed to send their marble down their run in an impressive 17.81 seconds! Well done!

Oxo Towers with Mrs Cook

Kitchen Chemistry with Mrs White

What a brilliant day! A HUGE Thank You to Mrs white for organising such an interesting and fun day!

Worth a Mention Children

Huge congratulation to this week's Worth a Mention children who are:

Keenan, Tia, Alex, Sophia, Ashleigh, Sam, George, Eloise, Merry and Noah.

Well done, this is something to be really proud of!

Children in Need

This Friday was, as you all know, Children in Need Day. We were so impressed with the effort that was made by the children and for the donations that were made. I will share the total with you on the next blog.

Armistice Day

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The Two Minute Silence is observed on Armistice Day, the day which marks the end of the First World War.

As a school, we went outside and marked the Two Minute Silence. Year Five's behaviour was, on the whole, very impressive and they showed what respectful children they are.

Thank you.

Golden Time

This week, 11 children missed their Golden Time.

A variety of reasons as usual however, yet again, not one Year Five child missed their Golden Time because they were in Detention, which is terrific.

Let's see if we can get that number down next week Year Five! Do you think we can do that? 

Watch this space...

So, that's it for another week. We are pretty much 'back to normal' next week so watch this space to see what Year Five have got up to.

Have a good week!
