Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
This week, the blog is all about the wonderful English language and what a wonderful language it is! Anyway, enough of my potential waffling, let's crack on with it so you can see for yourselves.
World Book Day
World Book Day was an utter triumph and we were so impressed with all the incredible costumes that came through the Year Five Corridor on Thursday morning.
In the afternoon, we had to, literally, Drop Everything and Read. Just in case you were wondering, Mrs Daniel was reading 'When We Were Young'. I am will resist to make any comment on that nugget of information...
In 5ER, we played the 'Name that Character' game. It was a lot trickier to guess the characters on the headbands than anticipated. I took the headbands to Book Group after school and although they too found it tricky, they got there in the end!
Thank you to Mrs Scott and Mrs James for such an excellent day and an excellent Book Fair. The Book Fair's last trading day is Monday so please do come along to browse and buy!
Rosie
This is Rosie. She is lovely. She is also a very hardworking young lady and has made incredible progress in her writing. I was lucky enough to read her most recent piece of writing and quite frankly, I was blown away by the content.
Well done Rosie, keep up the hard work, it is clearly paying off!
5KD's French Lesson
OK 5KD. Miss Enever gave me these fantastic pictures of you in your French lesson but what on earth are you holding up? What have you been up to?
Please tell us in the comments section. Not only will we know the wonderful things you are doing in French, you'll also get a credit.
Win, win!
It's all about the apostrophe!
Apostrophes are tricky things aren't they? You use them to show that a letter or two are missing (omission) or you use them to show that something belongs to someone (possession).
A lot of children tend to use apostrophes when something is plural which is a big no, no.
Mr Duffy has been working hard to make sure the children in his class are using apostrophes correctly. To help spread the message, two of his children, Laura and Keeley, made a visit to 5ER to help them see the error of their ways!
Not only did they teach us how to use the apostrophe for possession correctly, they also created a fabulous power point to help the children understand this particular concept.
Worth a Mention Children
Huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention children. It's lovely to see how helpful, kind, considerate, creative and hard-working you all are.
Brilliant!
Golden Time
This week 10 Year Five children missed their Golden Time.
Oh dear.
Not one child received a detention which is extremely positive.
A lot of diaries were not signed and quite a few homeworks were missing this week.
Let's try for a 100% success rate next week...
Ancient Egyptian Day
Our fabulous Ancient Egyptian day will be held a week on Monday. We are busy planning and resourcing the day and we can't wait!
More details about the contents of the day next week.
Well, that's it for another jam-packed week.
Have a good week everyone and I'll see you back here next week for more Year Five news.
Remember to spoil your lovely Mums something rotten on Sunday, they are super heroes and need looking after at all times!
We will also look forward to seeing some of your parents at next week's Parent Consultations.
Mrs Ray
(who is thrilled with her Book Fair purchases which includes a rather super book on Ancient Egypt. Howard Carter eat your heart out!)
