Hello and welcome back to the last Year Five Blog of the Academic Year!
We did it! We got to the end of term in one piece, but only just! What a totally fantastic last week that was - I could sleep for a week but my word, it was worth it!
Now, I did warn you last week that this would be a mega blog (or should that be choc-a-blog?!) so sit back and enjoy...
Cinema Trip
We kicked the week off with a rather delightful trip to the Plaza to see Despicable Me 3.
It was brilliant!
I must say that I was extremely impressed with the speed and efficiency that enabled us to get there and back in record time! Thank you so much to the parents that came with us - you were fantastic!
Buddy Picnic
Unfortunately the lovely, sunny weather that we were reasonably hoping to experience on Wednesday didn't happen so we had to improvise. Who needs a dry, sun-drenched playing field when you have a gym, corridor and classrooms?!
The amount of food that was brought in to consume was incredible! I did manage to see some rare examples of the lesser spotted fruit and vegetable but I had to search hard!
Thank you to the lovely children who donated Pringles to my hungry/greedy tummy. They were scrummy!
Celebration Assembly
A HUGE thank you to everyone who attended our last Celebration Assembly of the academic year. It was a super assembly and I enjoyed all the fantastic presentations from each class.
So I don't miss anyone out, many, many photographs are about to follow - well, I did warn you!
Huge congratulations to everyone who took part in the assembly - it was an absolute corker!
The last day...
Our last day was a very laid back affair. We had a super assembly with Ms Pluck, swapped our trays with Year Six and then met with our Buddies.
The Year Eight Buddies had made gorgeous 'Buddy Boxes' for the Year Fives. They were very well received!
So clever! Thank you so much Year Eight - you have been fabulous Buddies and we will miss you enormously!
So, that's for another week - in fact - that's it for another year! I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the Blog for you all - there's no better job than showing off what the children in your Year Group have been getting up to!
I would like to take this opportunity to say a HUGE Thank You to the amazing Year Team - they are incredible people and you have been so lucky to have them teaching and supporting you!
I hope you all have a fantastic summer holiday. Rest up and look after yourselves so that you are ready and raring to go for Year Six.
Mrs Ray
(who will miss Year Five so much!)
PS...
This is Ellen! This term she has taken her Grade 1 ISTD Tap exam and passed with a merit only being 4 marks off a distinction. She also had a Prize Giving at her dance studio where she was recognised by her Dance teacher for great commitment and improvement and awarded the Junior tap award so she was presented with a small trophy. She currently does, Junior Streetdance, Modern, Tap, Ballet, Acrobatic Arts and is a member of the Junior Performance Team and Streetdance Crew!
I need a lie down!
