Look, Listen and Cross

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Well, another week has flown by and it's been another good one. We have had a busy week haven't week?

So, without further ado, let's see what's been happening... 

A Triumphant Day!

A huge well done to all the children who took part in the Athletics meeting in Weymouth on Thursday.

Mr Roberts was extremely proud of the way you competed and conducted yourselves throughout the day and was delighted with the results.

Thank you and well done to: Bailey Lovell, Bailey Park, Jack Carperter, Toby Zimmer, Jamie Richards, Ben Cheeseman, Josh Jackson, Leah Pomeroy, Jasmine Simpson, Alex Alford, Amelia O'Connell, Isla Worthington, Florence Clever, Grace Gossage and Summer Kilby.

National School Grounds Week

This week has been National School Grounds Week and lots of things have been going on across the school.

Year Five were asked to take part in a survey of the school grounds by Mrs Whiting which we thoroughly enjoyed doing. 

We look forward to seeing the results.

Road Safety Week

This week was Dorset Road Safety Week so Jon Sweet, the Education Officer for the Dorset Fire and Rescue service, came and talked to the children about how to be safe on the roads.

It was an incredibly interesting and though-provoking session. You may be nagged by your children when it comes to the way you drive - you have been warned!

Assessments

Over the next week, the children will be assessed on their Reading and Maths. We do this every term so that we can continue to measure the children's progress. This will help the teachers see how much progress the children have made and where there are gaps in their learning. These tests will also help us finalise the levels that we will share with you in your child's end of year report.

Maths Group Visitors

Whilst 5AD were learning how to be safe on the roads, my Maths set gained three very willing and able helpers in the form of Lukas, Marley and Josh! 

They were incredibly helpful and really assisted the children with their learning. They also developed a little bit of empathy for teachers! Who would have thought!

Year Group Charity

As mentioned in our last Celebration Assembly by Mrs White, this term our Year Group Charity is the Rowan Cottage Day Centre in Prince of Wales Road.

We will be holding a Non Uniform Day on Friday 19th June. We will be charging the usual £1 in exchange for the children to wear their home clothes.

How exciting!

So, that's it for another week. Tune in next week for photographs of Friday's School Disco! Oh yes!

Have a good week everyone!
