Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Well, here we are, hurtling towards Christmas at break-neck speed and there is no sign of any breaking let alone stopping! We've had such a busy week this week (just for a change!) and next week looks even busier.
I better crack on then...
Christmas Carol Service
On Tuesday evening, the annual DMS Carol Service was held at St Mary's Church.
It was a lovely, lovely evening with a mixture of songs, sketches, readings, hymns and prayers, just as it should be.
I was delighted to see so many Year Five children taking part in the evening - these pictures just show a few of the children who were involved in the Drama Club's songs and sketches.
There were quite few children in the Orchestra and I'm sorry that I didn't get any pictures of them but I will be at the Christmas Concert on Wednesday - you have been warned!
Paper Aeroplane Competition
So, you saw the pictures of the planes being created so now it's time to see how they actually flew! We had so much fun with our Buddies and the competition was certainly fierce!
The finalists from each class had to make their way down to the Tech Corridor where the finalists were decided.
Thank you to Mrs Ettling and Mr Murray for organising such a fun activity and to the Year Eights who were just brilliant with their Buddies.
Celebration Assembly
Just to remind you of Thursday's Celebration Assembly at 9.30am in the Drama Hall. If you are able to attend, please you could remember to sign in when you arrive at Reception. We will start to seat you from 9.15am.
We look forward to seeing you then.
Worth a Mention Children
Another week in the bag and another ten fabulous children who have made their way on to the Worth a Mention Children Board.
Huge congratulations to every single one of you on such a super achievement.
We are extremely proud of you all.
Golden Time
14 children missed Golden Time this which is a huge improvement on last week. Well done Year Five.
I am also pleased to report a significant reduction in Detentions which is great.
See, I told you so...
Christmas Jumper Day
On the last day of term we will be holding our annual Christmas Jumper Day. Just to clarify, this is not a Non Uniform Day, we are substituting our top half for Christmas craziness and the lower half is school uniform as usual.
All donations made (we have suggested £1) will go to Save the Children.
I can't wait!
Christmas Concert
As mentioned earlier, there will be a Christmas Concert at Dorchester Middle School's Drama Hall on Wednesday 14th December at 7pm.
I know a lot of Year Five children are involved so I will be there with my trusty camera, ready to capture the magic to the best of my ability.
Well, that's it for another week. I hope you all have a good week and I will look forward to welcoming some of you to Thursday's Assembly.

(who is inwardly panicking about her serious lack of Christmas organisation. Must. Not. Panic.)
