Happy Days!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog! 

Well, that was a hectic week! As I mentioned last week, I have been involved in the Year Six SATs as I teach English to 6LS. All the Year Six children were incredibly positive and focused and I couldn't help but think that this will be our lovely current Year Five next year. Gulp! 

As a result of the SATs, I haven't seen a huge amount of the Year Fives this week but the super things that they are doing in (and out) of school haven't escaped my notice!

Double Worth a Mention Children 

As promised last week - we have a double-helping of Worth a Mention Children.


Huge congratulations to those who were on the board last week. Fantastic! Another cracking set of reasons - do I spy a NEW school record holder in 5CW? I think I do...


Huge congratulations must also go to this week's recipients! To see you all being such enthusiastic and successful learners is a joy to behold!


Celebration Assembly

Hopefully, you have received the text with regards to Wednesday's Celebration Assembly. It will be held at 9.30am in the Hall and should last for approximately half an hour. Apologies for the relatively short notice but we're trying to cram everything in before we break up for half term. We were hoping to hold it on the Friday but the Training Day has scuppered that plan!


Training Day

Talking of Training Days, please remember not to come to school on Friday!


Out of this World

I spied some rather incredible Science Homework entering and leaving school this week. As I reached for my trusty camera, they had all disappeared (into the ether maybe?). 
However, I was able to photograph this beauty:


Wow, wow and wow!


Our Feathered Friends

As you know, we have five feathered friends in residence. 




As I as out about with that trusty camera of mine, I spied Miss Farn letting them out after school. It was hilarious! They followed her like the Piped Piper. They are incredibly obedient (we wouldn't expect anything less would we?!) and, quite frankly, hilarious!


The Glorious Garden

Our School Garden is looking gorgeous. This is all down to Miss Still (accompanied by the green-fingered Mrs Daniel) and her Dorchester University Group's hard work. I think these pictures will back this up.




As a result of all their planting and nurturing, there will be plants for sale!




I will find out how you purchase these fine plants - watch this space!


Fabulous Work

I may have been in the SATs Zone but that didn't stop me from spying lots of excellent work in and out of the classrooms.

Fantastic Solids, Liquids and Gases Posters in 5CW
Incredible Writing about Dragons in 5PC


Golden Time

I am so pleased (and rather relieved) that the number of children who missed their Golden Time was halved this week! The common themes for missing Golden Time is primarily Homework not being completed and handed in on time. 

A special mention goes to 5PC as no-one missed their Golden Time this week - well done!

Our roving reporter/photographer, Ruby, took a few pictures of  this week's fun and games...




Such fun!



Well, that's it for this week. I will look forward to seeing some of you on Wednesday at our Celebration Assembly. I can't believe that we are at half term already - the days and weeks are certainly zooming by!

I'll see you back here next week for the end of half term report and will then it's time for a week off!
