Time rolled on by...

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

What an exhausting week! Did we really have half term last week or was it a trick of the imagination? We have had a terrific week but the highlight has to be, without a doubt, our Ancient Egyptian Day on Friday.

Let's see what the children got up to along with other news and information...

Ancient Egypt Day

Seeing Ancient Egyptians in the playground before school was quite a sight to behold especially as it was one of the coldest days that we have experienced for a long time. There were a lot of shivering Ancient Egyptians, I can tell you (including me!).

Once our Egyptians had got into the warmth, we cracked on with a fabulous morning of learning, creating, making and producing!

In the afternoon we had a Fashion Parade where the children had the opportunity to show off their fabulous costumes as well as the things they had made in their workshops.

There were prizes for the best costumes in each class as well as an overall winner which was this rather awesome Mummy (!).

Here are the rest of the winners:

We had a brilliant day but it would not have been possible without the fabulous Year Five Team who made it all possible.

British Museum here we come!

Worth a Mention Children

Huge congratulations to the children who found themselves on this week's Worth a Mention Board - for a couple of you this is the second week in a row!

Marvellous - well done!

Year 5 Tag Rugby Tournament

Thursday 22nd February 2018

At Weymouth Rugby Club

Words by Mr Roberts:

If there was a combination to test our Year 5 Rugby Team - then this was it.

On paper DMS had precision,purpose and attacking intent but in reality had to show their customary defensive excellence and keen tactical instincts.

Captain Tilly refused to allow her team to surrender so our team decided to demonstrate exactly why they are feared,ruthless side stepping and composed offloading.

Great character Year 5's never yielding,always determined.

Fantastic! Well done Team Year Five!

Do we have a mad scientist in our midst?

I couldn't resist this picture! I 'caught' 5CW coming in off the playground following an experiment that involved coke and a Mentos mint. I'm intrigued! What on earth were you doing?!

Parent Consultation Evenings

As mentioned in last week's Blog, next Monday and Wednesday are the designated days for our parent Consultation Evenings that will be held in the Gym. If you would still like to book, there are a still a few available appointment times but please be aware that they may limited.

The majority of the appointments are for five minutes and it is important that we all stick to this. If you need to discuss things in further detail then please make an additional appointment with the teacher.

We will look forward to seeing you!  

Well, another epic Blog that, hopefully, reflects a rather epic week!

I hope that you all have a fabulous week and I will look forward to seeing some of you next week.
