Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
We have had another super week - the children are cracking on with their learning and I am delighted to see the children enjoying their lessons and embracing all the fantastic opportunities that Dorchester Middle School has to offer.
It has been fabulous to see how many Year Five children have joined the clubs that we run at lunch times and after school. These clubs are provided and run by members of staff and Mr Roberts proudly reported this week that 411 children had attended the variety of Sports Clubs that his department provide.
Brilliant!
Life Education Van
We had a very special delivery on the playground on Friday afternoon - the Life Education Van!
On Monday and Tuesday, the children will be taking part in their programme entitled 'Friends'. I am so looking forward to it but I'm not looking forward to Harold's dreadful jokes - you know what I mean don't you?!
Give. Me. Strength.
PE/Games Kit
I am so pleased that you are enjoying your PE and Games Lessons - there are so many sports that are taught to you in Year Five - you are so lucky. However (you knew it was coming!) you are taking FOREVER to get changed at the end of the lessons and many of you are late for your next lesson!
Also, quite a few of you are forgetting your PE/Games Kit. Mr Palmer was telling me the other day that 8 children did not have their kit for one of his lessons. Eek!
If you are finding it hard to remember your kit, what don't you make a note of when you need it in your Home/School Diary? That should help you remember it on the right day.
Good luck and let's see an improvement.
Worth a Mention Children
Huge congratulation to this week's chosen ten!
It has been so lovely to see how the children react when they see their names on the board.
Magic!
Socks in a Box
This week, two of our school's Pupil Voice Representatives went to a DASP event at St Osmund's to learn more about the United Nation's Global Goals.
The Goals provide a unifying golden thread for schools that bridge subject and age divide. They can help engage parents and local communities in both learning together and taking action.
One of the things that all the DASP schools will be doing over the next couple of weeks is to collect socks (size 12 -3 would be ideal) to take to the refugees who are being supported by the organisation Blandford Cares. As the weather takes a turn towards Winter, socks are a quick and easy way to help keep the children warm.
There will be boxes in the classroom for the children to deposit their donated socks. We have already had a few donations which is incredible.
Let's help make a difference!
Well, that's it for another week. I hope you all have a good few days and I will, as always, 'see' you back here for the next installment.
Mrs Ray
(who had a go at creating various pieces of pottery at the weekend, very badly. I don't think I'll be ditching the teaching just yet!)
