Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
I think I have just manged to catch my breath from yet another busy week! So much going on so if I have missed out anything, I can only apologize.
Right, let's crack on!
Purple Friday
A huge thank you to everyone who supported Purple Friday. As a school, we raised an impressive £315.48. Everyone looked magnificent in their purple substitutes and the fact that it was all for such a good cause made it even more wonderful.
Thank you!
Countryside Calendar
Our beautiful Countryside Calendar is on sale with lots of contributions from our Year Five children.
For the bargain price of £5 not only will you be the proud owner of a rather gorgeous calendar but all profits will go towards buying the children new equipment for the playground.
Consider your Christmas shopping done!
Celebration Assembly
Hopefully you received the text to say that our next Celebration Assembly will be held on Friday 15th December at 9.15am. Please be in school for 9am to sign in and we will get you seated as soon as we can.
The Assembly will be held in the Drama Hall lasting for (hopefully) just under an hour - be prepared for Christmas treats and celebrations.
After the assembly, we will be giving you the opportunity to come back to your child's classroom so that they can show you some of their work, especially any pieces that they are particularly proud of.
We hope to see you then!
Worth a Mention Children
Huge congratulations to this week's worthy Worth a Mention Children (did you see what I did there?!) - what a fantastic range of reasons - well done one and all!
Glamorous Granny
Now, some of you (or may not) be aware that Mrs Daniel has become a Grandmother! I can hear the gasps of disbelief from here!
Little Lucas arrived (bang on schedule!) at the beginning of the month and is rather gorgeous isn't he? Congratulations Mrs Daniel - does the poor child know what he has let himself in for?!
Little People Christmas Decorations
Thank you to those of you who bought our rather fabulous Christmas Decorations on Friday. We have already raised £40 towards the cost of our British Museum trip in March.
They will be on sale every break time until they are sold and are £1.50 each.
Dorchester University
Our second module is nearly at an end and we had a great time at Dorset County Museum on Wednesday looking at the Alfred Wallis paintings and admiring the other artifacts on display.
A massive THANK YOU for Mrs Schnorr who came with us again and who has been an integral part of this Dorchester University Module.
She is a complete and utter star!
Whilst we were looking round, I noticed that there is a really good Anglo-Saxon and Viking area upstairs.
As we are learning about this area of history, I thought I would share this with you as it may well be worth a look?
I love the Museum, it's such a fantastic place to visit.
Carol Service
This Tuesday sees the arrival of our much anticipated Carol Service where Year Five are the stars! I personally cannot wait.
The Carol Service is at St Mary's Church, Edward Road and starts at 7pm.
See you then!
Well, that's it for another week! I look forward to seeing you at the Carol Service on Tuesday where I am on 'shooshing' duties - I have been practising my 'glare' all weekend much to the delight of my family!
Have a good week everyone!
Mrs Ray
(who is starting to panic about her severe lack of organisation for Christmas...! So, what did she do about it? Go for a run with her chums Miss Clements and Mrs Jarvis-Woodbridge!)
