Super Citizens!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

I love showing off Year Five, I really do, so it was an absolute joy to meet so many of our new recruits for September this Saturday. Watching our Year Five children show around the next 'batch' was a joy to watch and made me realize how far our children have come since they joined us a mere eight months ago. Year Five is a very special year group and although we may have our ups and downs, I couldn't be prouder of every single one of you.

Now that I have ceased my 'gush-a-thon' let's see what has been happening this week...

Eddie

This week, Mrs Cook and I had a lovely email from Mr Roberts about this young man:

This is what it said:

Myself and Mr Palmer wish to convey our utter delight in teaching Eddie and coaching him at after school clubs. He is an outstanding role model,helpful,positive and regards others as people he can help. At tennis club yesterday,he worked with others who needed additional help and did so in a selfless manner.

He is an outstanding young man and we wished for you to know this.

Well done Eddie and Thank You for being such an excellent ambassador for our Year Group. 

Walk to School

This week you will need to make sure you have your trainers in school because it's Walk to School Week! Even if it is impossible for you to walk to school every day (it's a jolly long walk from Cerne Abbas!) we will be using the school grounds to represent the whole concept. Confused? All will make sense in your PSHCEE lessons, promise!

Wellies Heaven

As will know by now, we have the RNLI visiting school on Wednesday 17th May. Your homework this weekend reflects this visit and we are really looking forward to welcoming the Lifeguards into our school.

Please remember to wear you wellies (if you have some) to school and yes, you can wear them in school all day if you wish (!) and bring any loose change so we can try and fill a wellie or two to donate to the RNLI.

Open Morning

As mentioned at the beginning of the blog, we opened the doors to Dorchester Middle School on Saturday morning so our new cohort could have a look around the school with their families. We were inundated with Year Five helpers who were absolute stars.

It was so lovely to meet so many of the children who will be joining us in September.

We will be seeing the current Year Four children again on Thursday 6th July for our DASP Transfer Day and quite frankly, we can't wait to see you all again!

What a great morning!

Worth a Mention Children

Many congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention Children

Well done one and all! There will be more about Amelia's achievement in next week's Blog.

Cakes for Calais

On Friday morning, we held a Cake Sale in the Food Tech Room to raise money for Calais Action, a DASP supported charity that I wrote about in last week's Blog.

Well, it was an absolute triumph! We sold every single cake and made a whopping £117.65 in the process. I have been in touch with Mrs Stoker and she is pretty sure that this has taken her to fundraising to £2500 which is incredible!

It was very, very busy!

As always, our Year Five Pupil Voice Representatives joined their fellow Reps and were incredibly helpful.

Thank you to everyone who donated and purchased cakes - I was so touched by everyone's kindness. Sob!

Well, that's it for another week.

I hope everyone has a good week, it's going to be very 'footwear orientated' isn't it?

Thank you for the comments on the Blog - keep them coming and I'll keep dishing out the Citizenship Credits!
