Pause for thought...

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

It may have been just five weeks long but my goodness, can't we pack a lot in? The last week was no exception was it? Let's have a look at what the children got up to...

Keep on walking!

Although 'Walk to School Week' was last week, rain stopped play for Mrs Daniel and 5ER. However, not to miss out on a rather super opportunity, trainers were donned and the walking commenced.

One mile later, their mission had been accomplished. Well done Mrs Daniel and 5ER, I bet you were pleased that you postponed - can you imagine doing that in the pouring rain? No thank you!

Celebration Assembly

I am so sorry for the 'last minute' Celebration Assembly on Wednesday afternoon but it was lovely to see all the 55 parents, carers and grandparents who attended.

  

Despite the short half term, I was so impressed with the number of stripes you had all earned. Well done and good luck to the parents who are in charge of getting the stripes on the jumpers!!  

Our next Celebration Assembly is on Thursday 20th July at 9.30am.

Let there be light!

As usual, 5ER are a bit behind as far as the Science Curriculum is concerned but we made good strides on Wednesday and had fun investigating which materials were transparent, translucent and opaque. We even got to use Data Loggers to measure the light!

Great catching up 5ER!

Solving a problem

Last week, I spied on Mrs Daniel's Maths Group as they had a super way of marking and receiving feedback with regards to their homework. This week, I gave it a go and requested that some of Mrs Daniel's group came in to 'supervise' the proceedings so I knew if I was doing it right or not.

Thank you so much for your help, I couldn't have done it without you!

Worth a Mention Children

A massive 'well done' and huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention Children. Another cracking range of reasons for being chosen by your teachers.

A couple of weeks ago I said that I would expand on Amelia's achievement in sport so here is a picture of her with her photograph and trophy for her excellent contribution to Rugby. Well done Amelia!

Safewise

Just a quick reminder that Year Five are off to Safewise the week after half term. 5ER kicks off the week by going on the Monday. This is a new trip for us so I'm really looking forward to seeing how it compares to Streetwise.

Don't forget to bring your lunch with you!

Well, that's it for another week. I hope you all have a great half term - it's a fabulous opportunity to recharge your batteries so you are ready and raring to go for your last half term in Year Five.

Many thanks to Miss Enever for all her brilliant pictures - the Blog would be a much duller place without them!
