... and we're off!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Well, we may have only been back for four days but what a jam packed four days they have been!

Let's have a look and see what the children have been up to this week...

Super Schools medalists

A huge thank you to all of the children for taking part in this excellent challenge and for those of you who worked really hard to get sponsorship. I will let you know how much money has been raised for the PE Department when the final total has been announced.

Here are a few of the many super duper fundraising medalists in Year Five.

Fantastic!

Worth a Mention children

Huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention children who are:

Sam, Laura, Stanley, Frankie, Minna, Archie, Primrose, Harvey, Holly and Fynn.

Simply brilliant.

Science Day

On Monday, the Year Five children will be off timetable as we will be having our annual Science Day. The children will have a fabulous day as they will looking at different aspects of Science. 

Not only will we welcoming back the excellent 'Science Show' into school but the Year Five teachers will also be running a variety of workshops that will enable the children to have a lot of fun by conducting a variety of experiments.

I will report back to you next week. 

Helping Hands - the final push

A HUGE thank you to all of you have worked hard and earned money for Save the Children's Syrian Refugee campaign.

So far we have raised an impressive £200 but we could do so much more than this! It's not too late to hand in your money - together we can really make a real difference.

Golden Time 

Eleven Year Five children missed their Golden Time this week. Again, not one single child missed their Golden Time because they had a detention which is fantastic!

This week's main offender is the Home/School diaries not being signed in the right place and Reading Record entries not completed by an adult.

Onwards and upwards!

5CW's Dispersal of Seeds!

Mrs White set a fabulous homework!

The children had to create a new plant that dispersed seeds by: wind, animal, water or explosion.

Aren't they fantastic?

I will report back in further detail next week.

Well, that's it for another week. I am so looking forward to Science Day when I will be, wait for it, leading a workshop on observational drawing. Why are you laughing?! It could be worse, it could have been Mrs Daniel leading it?!

Have a good week and, in the spirit of Strictly Come Dancing, 'Keep reading!'
