Normal service has been resumed!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Another week under our belts and another super duper week in Year Five. Let's have a look and see what has been going on...

Let's fly away

It was lovely to see the Buddies get together this week. 
'So, what was their task this week?' I hear you cry.
Well, their mission was to make an aero-dynamic paper aeroplane ready for a competition next time to see whose can fly the furthest.













I can't wait to see who the winners are.
Whilst passing Mr Duffy's classroom, I did casually notice that there was an instructional video being played on the whiteboard  - I wonder if that could be considered to be an unfair advantage? We will see...

Worth a Mention Children

Huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention Children.


I am so delighted to see your names up there and what a terrific set of reasons.

Well done one and all!

The Duffaroo!

In Science, we have been creating our own animals based on a habitat that has been researched for example, the arctic, desert, ocean etc.


I absolutely LOVED Mr Duffy's creation - The Duffaroo! To be perfectly honest, I'm a little bit scared of it but I'm sure it's a real softie!

Golden Time

I am happy to officially announce that we are 'getting there'! This week, 12 children in Year 5 missed their Golden Time which is definitely heading in the right direction.

Dare I hope for half of that number next week?
Time will tell...


Well, that's if for another week.
Have a good week and I will look forward to updating you on another jam-packed week in the wonderful world of Year Five.

(who is really looking forward to finally meeting with the Pupil Voice Representatives on Monday!)

Short and sweet

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Children in Need

A HUGE thank you to everyone who contributed to Children in Need Day on Friday.









  
It looks as though you had a lot of fun in the process of raising money for this fantastic cause.
Thank you.

Worth a Mention Children


Huge congratulations to all the children who proudly appear on this week's 'Worth a Mention Board'.
Well done one and all!

A short one this week but hopefully we will be back to 'normal service' next week.

Scientists of the future

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!


Democracy Day

On Tuesday, Charlotte and Eddie were selected to represent Year Five at the Local Democracy Day held at Dorchester Town Council.




Miss Clements was incredibly proud of all the Pupil Voice children she took with her and had a fantastic day as a result. How about telling us a bit more about it in the comments section in this Blog?

Science Day

Wednesday saw the arrival of our greatly anticipated Science Day in Year Five. The children had a fabulous day and learnt a lot in the process.

This is what the children got up to...



































































A HUGE Thank You to Mrs White for organising such a terrific day.

Worth a Mention Children

Massive congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention children. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of you.



This week's Terrific Ten have clearly impressed their teachers for a variety of reasons. Well done one and all!
