Generous souls

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

This week has been incredibly busy but incredibly rewarding! I can't begin to thank everyone who supported our second fundraising week - every event has been very well stocked and attended. I think our final fundraising total is going to impressive...

Anyway, let's see what has been going on this week...


Hot Chocolate Cafe

The wonderful smell of chocolate wafted through the Year Five corridor and enticed a lot of customers into the Room 5 Hot Chocolate Cafe.







A HUGE Thank You to Mr Duffy and Miss Enever for organising such a successful event. We're not 100% sure of the final total but we are pretty sure it is around the £80 mark.
Wow!


Crafty Mrs Lister

Mrs Lister's amazing book marks and key rings have been selling like Hot Cakes and I've already seen the bookmarks being put to good use.


Now, there are a few items left for sale. They range from £1.50 to £3.50 and every item is unique.

This is all we have left:


We will be setting up shop again on Monday so don't miss out on being a proud owner of one of these wonderful handmade crafts.


Cakes Everywhere!

Oh my! What a generous bunch you are! I couldn't believe the mountain (yes, mountain) of cakes that were donated to our Cake Sale. We had so many that we had to set up another sale the next day.







We don't know how much we have raised as yet but as soon as I do, I will let you know on this Blog!

A massive thank you to the staff and children who helped with the selling and the eating of the cakes. You are complete and utter stars!


Granny May

We have been thoroughly enjoying The Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo.
This week many of the classes have been writing a diary entry as the character Granny May.

In 5MW, we hot-seated her so we could ask her lots of questions about specific events on September 9th 1907.


Our Granny May was Ben and he was excellent!
Thank you for being such a terrific Granny May!


Worth a Mention Children


I was delighted to see this week's names on the best board in the school.
What has particularly impressed me about this week's selection is the huge range of reasons chosen by the Homebase Tutors.

Well done Troy, Megan, Jadan, Mollie, Caitlyn, Zak, Blu, Merlyn, Oliver and Lauren!


Celebration Assembly

Just a quick reminder about our Celebration Assembly on the 8th February - the day we break up for half term. 
We are aiming to start at 2.05pm and are hoping to be finished by 2.25pm.
I hope to see you there.


Well, that's it for another week.
I hope you all have a cracking week and that I see you back here next week.
Please do feel free to leave a comment on the Blog, it is always lovely to receive and read them. I haven't had any of ages. I miss them!
