Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Many apologies for not getting the Blog to you sooner but I have been away enjoying the half term break with my very own Year Five Cub. However, I'm back now and ready and raring to tell you all about last week.
Celebration Assembly
What a super duper assembly that was! It was fabulous to see all 98 Parents/Carers/Grandparents squeezed into our humble Drama Hall. Thank you to everyone who attended and made it such a special event.
Most importantly, a HUGE well done to all the fantastic children who received Bronze, Silver and (even a Gold) Stripes for all their hard work so far this term and to those who you who received various certificates for your achievements. Brilliant!
Thank you for the lovely singing and to Bruno for playing the piano with such confidence and style. We definitely have a star in the making there.
Our next assembly will be just before we break up for Christmas and, hopefully, in the morning. As soon as I have a date, I will let you know via text and publish it on this Blog.
Dorchester University - all change
I thoroughly enjoyed the first module (The Art of St Ives) and am looking forward to meeting my new recruits next week. The children were told their new modules just before half term so hopefully they have remembered what they are doing but never fear, we will remind them...
Year Five Footballers
Huge congratulations to our wonderful Year Five footballers who, by judging from the report below, played an absolute blinder last week.
This is Mr Roberts' account of the match:
Year 5 Football
DMS v St Mary's Middle School
Tuesday 17th October 2017
Lost 2-1
The grey Autumnal skies failed to dampen the Year 5 DMS Football Teams spirits this afternoon.
DMS v St Mary's Middle School
Tuesday 17th October 2017
Lost 2-1
The grey Autumnal skies failed to dampen the Year 5 DMS Football Teams spirits this afternoon.
Pathetic Fallacy produced a twisted lack of conformity ,seeing our pupil's enthusiasm for the beautiful game in abundance.
St Mary’s Middle School were in a defiant mood, we had to labour for every ounce of possession - we were gifted nothing!
Oliver B was a Trojan,his defensive qualities were evident to all. Jadan was immense in goal, Isaac remained a thorn in the villagers side.
It was our Captain Theo that broke the deadlock with a shot of great accuracy-the team celebrated like a Cup Final win!
The match saw 18 players represent DMS today - 6 debutants, an experience that will never be taken away.
Well done Year 5
What a team!
Super Surroundings
I love our Year Five Corridor, I really do! From the times table bunting to the Wonderful Writing displays, our corridor is a rich, vibrant and celebratory place to be.
We have a new area in our corridor - we have only gone and made ourselves a Reading Corner!
It's a 'work in progress' i.e. I am so going to add fairy lights and a bit of bling but we have already been listening to children read there. It's lovely to have somewhere that's a bit different for the children to go.
Watch this space...
Worth a Mention Children
Huge, no, gigantic congratulations to the children who found themselves on the Worth a Mention Board on Friday. An incredible range of reasons this week which always makes my heart sing.
Well done one and all!
So, that's it for another week.
I hope you all had a relaxing and restful half term (who am I kidding?!) and that the batteries have been recharged so that everyone is ready and raring to go on Tuesday 31st October.
See you next week!

(who had a lovely time in France but is now about to embark on a Mark-a-thon...!)
