Are we nearly there yet?

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Blimey! I don't think my feet have touched the ground this week! Do you feel the same way? The build up to the end of any term is always very hectic but there's nothing quite like the Summer Term to help you realise what 'busy' truly means!

Anyway, enough of my rambling on, let's see what Year Five have been up to this week...

Wimbledon eat your heart out!


Words by Mr Dailey:

A superb sight it was this Friday afternoon with the best KS2 tennis players all attending the DASP tennis tournament. St Osmund's and St Mary's Pudd brought some exceptionally difficult players but ours battled on!


Huge congratulations to all the team for their hard efforts and for their sportsmanship with particular thanks to Noah and Evan for representing Year Five so successfully.

Thank you!
 
Miss Enever's Drawing

You have already been 'subjected' to Mrs Daniel's drawing (which really is improving!) so I thought it was Miss Enever's turn!



In case you were wondering, these are pictures that represent the events of 9th December in the book The Wreck of the Zanzibar by Michael Morpurgo. We had to try and summerise the chapter in six pictures which was rather tricky.

Worth a Mention Children

Oh dear.
Not all of the teachers wrote on the board this week.
Mr Duffy, consider yourself named and shamed!
I will put up a picture on Monday.
Well done to those children who are on the board this week, you will get your moment of glory, don't you worry.


Golden Time

Sadly, eleven Year Five children missed their Golden Time this week. Four (yes, four) children missed it this week as they were in Detention. Mmm, that's not good is it?

Can I be hopeful for next week? Please? 

Transfer Day


Just a quick reminder that this Thursday is our Transfer Day. I can't believe that it has already been a year since we met the majority of you for the first time!


The children will find out who their Year Six teacher will be during morning registration and will then spend the first two lessons with them. During Lesson Three, the children will meet and spend the hour with their new Maths teacher. In the afternoon it will be business as usual.

Your teacher will run through what will be happening during the day with you so don't panic!

As it will be a very busy day in the world of Year Five, we ask the children that once they are registered they do not come back into the Year Five corridor. I know that sounds mean but trust me, it's much easier if we don't see you again until Friday when we will look forward to hearing all about your day.


Credit Collection



As the end of term is approaching rather rapidly, please don't forget to get your credits signed. Unless they have been signed by the teacher who has awarded them to you (or equivalent) they they won't actually count so get collecting Year Five!

Celebration Assembly


The last Celebration Assembly of the year will be on Monday 18th July at 9.30am in the Drama Hall. We will be reviewing the fantastic year that we have had with a couple of surprises along the way!


So, that's it for another week.
Thank you for the super comments last week, please keep them coming this week!

Have a good week everyone!

We are Champions!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

It was another very busy week, wasn't it Year Five? There were many highlights this week but I do think that Sports Day was the pinnacle of the week.
However, there are lots of things to share with you so here we go...

Lifesaver


In 5AD this week, we had an act of heroism to celebrate!
Young Kit (on the left) was in the midst of a choking situation and thanks to the quick action of our hero (on the right), the choking ceased and all was well.
Thank you young man, we were so impressed with your quick thinking...



Year 5 DASP Citizens


Congratulations to Harvey and Eden who were voted to be the recipients of this year's Year Five DASP Citizenship Award.
What a fantastic achievement!

Sports Day

What a brilliant day! A huge well done and 'Thank You' to every single child that participated in Sports Day. I hope that you enjoyed the day and thank you for being so well behaved and demonstrating fantastic sportsmanship.

Here are a few pictures (courtesy of Miss Enever) of the day:








The winners of the Tug of War - the very strong 5CW!

Sam the Dog from Queens Avenue decided she wanted to join in the fun!




















  

Well done to 5KD who were the overall winners of Year Five's Sports Day. I think Mr Duffy is still in shock!



Well done Shania, Georgia and Tyler from 5ER for being the overall Boccia winners! They were up against stiff competition from the rest of the school but they were victorious - brilliant!

Throwing some light on the situation...

5AD - I see you have been busy investigating in your Science lessons. What are you doing in these pictures?




Answers in the comments situation please...

Golden Time

This week, seven children missed their Golden Time. However, no-one missed their Golden Time for having received a detention this week!

What is the betting we can reduce this number for next week?
Go on, I dare you!

Worth a Mention children


I wasn't even vaguely surprised when I looked at this week's Worth a Mention Children board this week.
Every single one of you are a 'Worth a Mention Child' and quite rightly so.
I am very proud of you all.



Well, that's it for another week.

Have a good week everyone and I will look forward to seeing how many of you have viewed the Blog and to have some comments to publish.

(who would like to thank 5ER and Year Five for all of their support during the Staff Relay. I'm sorry to disappoint Ry by not doing it in heels, maybe next year?!)
