Better late than never!

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

Many apologies for the 'lateness' of this week's blog but it has been a rather busy weekend as you will see at the end of the Blog. 

We sadly said 'Cheerio' at the beginning of the week to the amazing Ms Seymour but never fear, she will be at our Celebration Assembly on Thursday.

So, without further a do, here is the latest from Year Five...

Fundraising

Oh. My. Word.

You are an incredible lot, you really are.

Our fundraising has been simply fabulous this year! I cannot begin to thank every single person who has contributed in some shape of form.

We have just 3 (yes, 3) Bookmarks to sell on Monday (1 x Minion and 2 x Elmos) and then we can total what we have raised.

I will announce it at this week's Celebration Assembly. 

Eek!

Speed Sharing

This has been an absolute joy and virtually all of the year group, with the exception of half of 5KD have had the opportunity to share their wonderful writing.

5MW were lucky enough to have Ms Pluck to share their writing with.

To say that she was impressed would be the understatement of the year!

Celebration Assembly

Don't forget that we will be hosting our next Celebration Assembly this Thursday at 2.05pm. 

If you can come, please remember to sign in before you are shown to the Drama Hall by the children.

See you then!

Half Term

Even though  it has been a relatively short half term, I bet you are all looking forward to a break as we have worked you very hard this term.

You are the lucky ones who get an extra day as you break up on Thursday.

Big sigh!

DMS vs St Mary's Puddletown

Words by Mr Roberts:

Sport is the preserve of all pupils who are willing to contend with bitterly harsh weather and formidable opposition.

DMS pupils conducted themselves with grace and humility whilst maintaining the sporting defiance that makes them so locally revered.

Our Year Five Boys were part of this terrific event.

Well done boys!

Ancient Egypt Day

With half term fast approaching, I thought I would remind you about the Year Five Ancient Egypt Day on Friday 23rd February. 

Costumes are actively encouraged, especially as there will be prizes for the top Ancient Egyptian outfits!

Worth a Mention Children

Huge congratulations to this week's worthy Worth a Mention Children!

Can anyone work out what Mrs Daniel has drawn this week?

Answers on a postcard please...

Well, that's it for another week.

I hope you have a cracking week and I will look forward to seeing you back here next week where there will be A LOT of things to report back on.
