Back into the swing of things.

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog and Happy New Year to you all!

Well, busy doesn't cover the week we've just had - I think I can safely say that we have definitely hit the ground running (again!).

 Lots to tell you so on with the show!

Mrs Thomas

After Mr Chadwick's departure, the school is now being led by the lovely Mrs Thomas who is our acting Headteacher for the rest of the academic year. She has kindly promised that she will continue with the termly Speed Sharing sessions so I will be booking her in immediately.

Worth a Mention Children

As promised on last week's Blog, these are the Worth a Mention Children from the last week of the Autumn Term.

Well done on such a tremendous achievement.

Now to this week's Worth a Mention Children - here they are:

Brilliant!

Well done on your hard work and perseverance, you are an inspiration to us all.

Non Chronological Reports - the return!

Just when you thought we had finished learning about and writing Non Chronological Reports (NCR), they make a dramatic return!

This week, a lot of the Year Five children were asked to write a NCR about the imaginary animal they created whilst we were looking at Ecology last term. It was great to look back and see the children's fabulous creations.

I sneaked into 5CW to see what they were getting up to and look what I found...

I can't wait to read what you have written!

Streetwise

Four Year Five classes are off to Streetwise next week and we can't wait!

Thank you to all of you who have returned the permission slips and who have made a payment. We are still missing quite a few permission slips though and without permission, we are unable to take the children with us.

If you have paid via Agora (our on line payment system) permission slips still need to be returned. Unfortunately, Agora just accepts payment and does not account for  permission being given.

I shall report back on the Streetwise visits next week.   

Bottle Tops

When Mrs Whiting appealed for Bottle Tops across the school, I don't think she bargained on Year Five making such an incredible contribution!

Thank you so, so much to everyone who has contributed in whatever shape or form.

I have spotted these two young men struggling in with an incredible number of bottle tops for us. Thank you Charlie and Josh!

Thank you to everyone who has brought them in and keep them coming!

The Talented Mrs Daniel

Remember that fabulous picture of a seal that Mrs Daniel drew a few weeks ago?

Well, her son-in-law was so impressed with her incredible talent that he had her design immortalised on a T-shirt!

From this...

... to this!

Genius!

So, that's it for another week. I hope the first week back wasn't too much of a culture shock for you all!

See you back here next week!

(who was very tempted to stay in her pyjamas and wear them to school on the first day back!!)
