Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Brrrrr! It's been a bit on the chilly side hasn't it? We have been 'gently reminding' the children to remember to wear their coats when they go out to play but I fear it's a case of 'leading the horse to water' in this instance. We'll keep advertising the distinct advantages of that extra layer, wish us luck on that one.
Anyway, enough 'coat talk', let's have a look at what has been going on in Year Five this week...
Caketastic!
On Monday, a multitude of delicious-looking cakes were brought in by all year groups as it was time for The Great DMS Bake Off. There was an incredible number of cakes in the Food Tech Room and they all were all decorated to complete and utter perfection (did I sound like Mary Berry there?!).
Here is a selection of the Year Five entries...
I'll be honest with you, I am so pleased that I wasn't one of the judges as I would have voted every single cake a winner! However, there were TWO winners in Year Five and here are the master bakers with their prize-winning cakes:
Congratulations to Harvey and Sam, what a fantastic achievement!Look out Paul Hollywood, there are rising stars (geddit, 'rising'!)in our midst!
Buddens Animal Homework
I know I have said it before and I'll say it again, when we set you a 'creative' homework you certainly know how to rise to the challenge don't you?
5ER had to find out about an animal that could live at Buddens. Once they had carried out their research, the children had to present their information but they had free reign on how to do this.
Here is a small selection of the homeworks that Miss Enever and I have had the pleasure to receive:
We also have interesting power points, super posters, informative leaflets and Merry has even made a brilliant film about the Woodpecker.
Fab-u-lous!
Life Education Bus
You've probably seen this rather large vehicle in our playground? Some of you have probably been in this rather large vehicle already?
Yes, it's Life Education Bus time and Karen has been working with us to help us understand how to keep ourselves healthy, how to address our emotional needs, what drugs are and what they are used for and, finally, how to be assertive.
It was a really good session and the children got a lot out of it.
Pete the Penguin
I warned you about this cheeky little penguin last week didn't I?
Well, he has been VERY busy making new friends and Miss Enever seems to be his new favourite, for now!
He also made a couple of new friends this week, Holly and Eddie...
Bonkers!
Worth a Mention Children
This week's worthy Worth a Mention Children are:
Finley, Georgia, Helen, Chris, Ethan, Lilly, Pippa, William, Jacob and Polly.
Well done, what a lovely way to end the week!
Golden Time
This week 10 children missed their Golden Time which is an improvement on last week.
Just one child missed their Golden Time because they had received a Detention.
We are definitely heading in the right direction aren't we?
A BIG 'Well Done' to all those children who did receive their Golden Time this week. I hope you enjoyed the latest round of Mrs Daniel's Diabalo training!
Is she getting the hang of it?
Celebration Assembly
Our next Celebration Assembly will be on Monday 14th December.
However, this time our assembly will be at 9.30am and will last for roughly an hour.
The children have worked really hard this term so it will be lovely to celebrate all their achievements and successes.
We will be putting labels into the Home/School Diaries nearer the time.
So, that's it for another week. I hope you all have a lovely weekend and don't forget to comment on the Blog when you have a spare moment.
