Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
I hope you all had a lovely half term and had the opportunity to recharge those very precious batteries! I don't know about you but I don't feel like I have stopped at all, there was a lot of catching up that needed to be done.
Anyway, enough of the Mrs Ray ramblings, on with the Blog...
British Museum Fundraising
We did it! Thanks to your generosity and all round loveliness we have managed to reduce the cost of the trip for each child by £4.20 which is incredible. The total we raised was £531.95 which is amazing.
The final cost of the trip is £17.80 per child so we would be very grateful for payments to be made as soon as possible.
Ancient Egypt Day
Just to remind you that our annual Ancient Egypt Day will be held this Friday 23rd February.
It would fabulous if as many children as possible could dress up for the day.
The day culminates in a Fashion Parade (there will be prizes!) as well as a Show and Tell session where the children tell each other about what they did in their workshops as well as demonstrating what they have learnt.
It's a fabulous day and an excellent way to start our Ancient Egypt topic.
Parent Consultations
Our next round of Parent Consultations will be held on:
Monday 26th February 4pm - 6pm
Wednesday 28th February 5pm - 7pm
An email was sent on Friday 9th February but please don't worry if you didn't receive it or if you are unable to print out a copy of the appointment form. The children will be distributed with paper copies on Monday.
As you will appreciate, there needs to be a quick turn around so the sooner the forms come into school school the better.
We are really looking forward to meeting with you.
Celebration Assembly
Another super Celebration Assembly was held on Thursday 8th February - thank to everyone who attended.
I was so impressed with the number of stripes that were awarded during the assembly - you have all been working super hard!
Now, unfortunately, the photographs that were taken throughout the assembly were taken on my new camera and the quality was, quite frankly, pants.
I will endeavour to track down the recipients of the various stripes and take group pictures so that no one feels that they have missed out!
Sorry about that.
Worth a Mention Children
A huge gold star to Mrs Daniel and huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention Children.
Fabulous, well done!
The Feline Seal of Approval!
Well, Oscar the opinionated cat has been at it again! This time his 'victim' was young Cora. According to Mrs Daniel, he was 'helping' her mark the book reviews of The Wreck of the Zanzibar' and thought that Cora's was puuurfect (did you see what I did there?!) - look at all of that pink!
All Change!
A new half term sees a new Dorchester University module.
Mrs Schnorr and I had a super time with the children when we went to the Dorset County Museum on the Wednesday before we broke up.
I can't believe I got to hold original Alfred Wallis paintings - it was such a highlight for me!
We did try to get a sneak preview of Dippy but unfortunately everything was boarded up ready for the grand opening.
Well, that's it for this week.
I hope that you all have a super first week back and that it's not too much of a culture shock when you have to get up in the morning.
See you next week!
Mrs Ray
(who had a great half term with many, many highlights...)
