Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
What a terrific week! I don't know if I speak for everyone but I have had yet another fun teaching week! 5MW and I have had a ball in English and are about to face 5KD in a 'Storm Slam' (I will leave the children to explain that one to you!) in a few days.
We have had lots of lovely successes and I experienced my first Speed Sharing session with the super-talented 5AD. To see how much progress you have made in your writing in just one term is a joy to behold.
Why 5AD didn't learn anything this week...
Mrs Daniel's naughty cat Oscar has been at it again! He has been stopping Mrs Daniel from working by demanding frequent cuddles. A tough choice at the best of times I guess?
However, he has helped her plan her English, something to do with main and subordinate claws...?!?
Happy Harrison
Look at the beaming smile coming from this young man's face! This is a boy who has missed many a Golden Time but this week he has worked extra hard to earn it so we are all delighted for him!
Well done Harrison - keep up the good work - we are so proud of you and ALL of the children who work hard to earn their Golden Time!
Worth a Mention Children
As I am on the subject of children that we are proud of, feast your eyes on this week's Worth a mention Children...
Well done one and all - I am thrilled for you!
Viking Invasion
On Friday, Dorchester Middle School was invaded by Vikings! No, seriously, they were!
Well, if you don't believe me, here is my evidence...
As you can see from the pictures, they were on a recruitment drive and I think they were successful in their mission, don't you?
Thank you to Mrs Cook for organising these fearsome warriors to visit the Year Five children, I hope we didn't frighten them too much!
Marvellous Milkshakes
As previously mentioned, we will be starting our British Museum fund raising next week.
We will kick it off with our Milkshake and Cookie Stall that will be held in the Hall on Wednesday break time. For the bargain price of 50p, you will get a delicious milkshake and scrummy cookie.
What is there not to like?
See you there!
Celebration Assembly
Just to let you know that our next Celebration Assembly will be held on the last day of the half term, Thursday 8th February at 2.05pm in the Drama Hall.
Well, that's it for another week!
I hope you are all in the process of having a fabulous weekend and I will look forward to seeing you back here next week!
Mrs Ray
(who is starting to get a bit nervous about taking part in the London Winter Run for Cancer Research next month. It seemed like such a good idea at the time...!)
