Are you ready?

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Another week under our belts and what a busy week it has been! We have also got a lot coming up over the next fortnight so batten down the hatches and here we go...

Visits from Year Six

You know I was telling you about 5AD's Year 6 Visitors last week? Well, blow me down with a feather but a few Year Five classes were graced with Year Six's presence!

6NR (the former 5GR) came and shared their writing with us and really got us thinking about what actually happened to those three lighthouse keepers.

It was so lovely to see the old gang with the new gang! Thank you for sharing your excellent work with us.

French

Now, there is a rumour going round that some rather super and jolly singing was going on in French lessons this week?

Miss Enever managed to catch 5ER in action...

What on earth were you doing?!

Card Games

English lessons are a lot of fun in Year Five but sometimes you do need to question 'Is this English?'!

This week, a few of the classes had lots of fun playing card games, er, no, sorry, I meant 'following instructions'!!!!

Yes, I did join in but it was purely a numbers thing, honest!

Worth a Mention Children

A HUGE congratulations to the children who have been selected as this week's Worth a Mention child.

It is always lovely to see why your names are on the board and it's great to see such a wealth of reasons for this super acknowledgment.

Well done!

Golden Time

This week just five children missed out on their Golden Time so well done for that Year Five. 

Fantastic!

Fundraising Fortnight

Don't forget:

Hot Chocolate Cafe on Tuesday during break time in Room 5

A Cake Sale on Thursday in the Year Five Corridor during break time.

Don't forget to bring cakes to sell if you can!

Deposit Reminders

Just a quick reminder that permission slips and the £10 deposit are due in by the 2nd February.

Celebration Assembly Reminder

Another reminder for you! Our next Celebration Assembly is on Monday 8th February starting to near as 1.10pm as possible.

Labels will go into the Home/School Diaries over the next few days to let you know if your child will be receiving a certificate.

Assessment Fortnight

In order to check the children's progress on a more formal basis, we will be testing them in Maths and English over the next fortnight.

As a result of this, we will not be setting any homework (apart from spellings).

I can hear the cheering from here!

Sparky 5AD 

Talking of homework, Miss Enever spied these rather impressive homeworks in 5AD.

What on earth (geddit?!) have you been up to?

So, that's it for another week!

Have a good week everyone and keep those comments coming! Don't forget to put your christian name and home base with your comment so I know who to give the credit to!

See you back here next week!

(who is really looking forward to consuming lots of yumminess next week!)

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Another busy and enjoyable week under our belts with a few wet plays (groan) and a very soggy start to the day on Friday! I hope you all have had a good week too?

Let's crack on with this week's news...

Worth a Mention Children

A huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention children! Well done for getting your names on the board this week, a fabulous achievement indeed.

Golden Time

Only seven children missed their Golden Time this week which is one of the lowest weeks yet so well done Year Five.

Just one child was in Detention this week.

The main reason for children missing their Golden Time this week was not getting Reading Records signed or not having read this week. This is so easily fixed - don't leave your reading to the last minute Year Five and have a pen in your hand ready for your adult to sign your Reading Record!

Simples!

Year 5 Footballers

Words by Mr Roberts:

DMS v Wyke Regis Junior School

Result: DMS WON 3-0. UNBEATEN SO FAR IN 2015/16 

Our Year 5's were ironically buoyed by the prospect of facing a Year 6 team from Weymouth,like pack animals,each supported their team mates,nothing was going to subdue the county schools resolve.

There was  no grogginess to the start of this tense game,no misgivings,just an unrivalled attitude of winning and with style.

Wyke could not have anticipated the damage would be so severe when striker Jacob weaved his chaos into the heart of their defence and the never say die ethos of Captain Toby dispossessed  time and time again.

This was total football,a masterpiece,a lesson in how to play our beautiful game.

Well done Year 5

Mr Roberts

Well done Year Five boys, what a fabulous result!

Instructions

This week, a couple classes have moved onto looking at Instructional Texts in our English lessons.

One of the first tasks we have to do is to see how good we are at following oral (spoken) instructions.

This is what 5AD got up to...

 Mmm, varying results.

Let's see if 5ER fared any better...

Not really!

I wonder how the rest of you will get on with this task when you get to it?

Visitors in the Corridor

So, there we were, cracking on with our English lesson on Friday when, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted an entire Year Six (6TH) class outside Mrs Daniel's classroom.

You know me, not one to miss a photo opportunity...

 What on earth were you doing?

Let me know in the comments section, you'll get a citizenship credit if you do!

British Museum Trip

Thank to those who have returned the permission slips and who have paid the deposit for this exciting trip.

Please keep them coming so that we get everything in before the 2nd February deadline.

Advance Warning!

Our next Celebration Assembly will be on Monday 8th February starting at 1.10pm.

Well, that's it for another week. Thank you to those of you who have commented on the Blog, I have signed Citizenship Credits so you know it's worth it!

Have a good week everyone and see you back here next week.
