Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Well, can you believe it, our new recruits now have thirteen school days under their belt. How quickly has that gone? The children are doing well: settling into their new routines and getting the hang of a whole new set of rules and expectations. I am delighted to report that 5PC are finally getting the hang of getting changed for Games - we achieved a lot more this week - hoorah!
Needless to say, we have had a terrific week full of fun, the definite highlight being our DMS Roald Dahl Day on Thursday.
Roald Dahl Day
So, it was a week later than the 'official' version but this is did not dampen anyone's enthusiasm towards the event.
Miss Hobern was the mastermind behind the day along with key members of the English Team including Mrs James, Mrs Hyde and Miss Homer along with Mr Baker and Mrs Retallick who made the library look simply spectacular!
There were also some rather incredible costumes on the day! A huge thank you to everyone who dressed up - you all looked amazing! Here are a few members of staff who embraced the weird and wonderful world of Roald Dahl...
Never let it be said that DMS doesn't embrace a chance to dress up for the day!
The children's costumes were incredible. I will put a selection of the pictures on next week's Blog as I just have to double-check that I have permissions so but here is a taster for you courtesy of Year Six...
Watch this space!
Fabulous Football
On Wednesday, our Year Five boys played against St Osmund's Middle School. The words below are written by our fabulous Mr Roberts:
It was an audacious Year 5 DMS team that romped home this afternoon.George C was a 'complete player'with raw skills and consummate enterprise. He ghosted through the Ozzies defenders,scoring a brace with ease.
The DMS result was undeniable and for the opponents-unavoidable.
Won 3-1. and Lost 2-0
Well done boys, you did us proud on so many levels.
Golden Time
As anticipated, quite a few of our lovely Year Five children missed their Golden Time on Wednesday. The main reason for this was the fact that the children hadn't completed the necessary five reads for the week. A few children didn't have their diaries signed so I completed a bit of 'Diary Signing' training which involved the diary being open, a pen in hand and modelling how to politely ask a parent to sign the correct page. There was role play and everything!
Hopefully I won't have such a packed room next Wednesday. Make sure you get those five reads signed off by an adult before your diary is checked!
Please do contact us if you're not 100% sure of what to do - we are always happy to help.
Worth a Mention Children
Huge congratulations to all of the children who found themselves on this week's Worth a Mention Board in the Year Five corridor. It's good to see how many of you embraced the Roald Dahl Day, well done one and all!
Coming to a Year Six near you...
It's in the pipeline Year Six - the first ever Key Stage Two Blog is heading your way this October so brace yourselves!!!!
Well, that's it for this week. I hope you all have a totally fabulous weekend and that you don't get too soaked - the forecast isn't looking great is it? I am meant to be participating in the Trust 10km at Studland on Sunday so wish me luck on that one!
See you back here next week!
