Speeding along...

Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!

I don't know about you, but I don't feel like my feet have even touched the ground this week! We are knee deep in report writing at the moment as well as being fully emerged in the joys of teaching. We had a special treat for the children this week as far as their English lessons were concerned but more of that later.

This is a bit of a 'wordy' Blog this week so I will try and get more pictures of the children into next week's edition.

Here we go...

Worth a Mention Children

As always, huge congratulations to this week's Worth a Mention Children. 

You really are complete and utter superstars!

Well done!

Mind the Gap!

Every Friday afternoon, until the end of term, we will be delivering a series of lessons called 'Mind the Gap'. These lessons are Grammar and Punctuation orientated and revise what we have covered over the academic year. The idea is that we make sure that the children are 'Year Six Ready' as far as SPaG is concerned.

We mix all the classes up so we can differentiate our delivery, making sure we all cover all the content but in our own individual Year Five way! 

What fun! 

I can't think of a better way to end the week!

Healthy Schools

At the risk of sounding like an old moan, please remember that we are a Healthy School. This means that your break time snack should be deemed as 'healthy'. As much as I love them, crisps have not been classed as a 'healthy food' and should not be eaten at break time! 

Think carefully about what you choose to eat at break time - you really don't want me nagging you do you?

Uniform Check Results

As promised, Mr Murray and I did a quick uniform check on Monday and I am delighted to say that Year Five were pretty jolly good! 

A few trainer socks are sneaking back in from time to time (did you see what I did there?!) and the girl's skirt lengths can be questionable but on the whole, good job Year Five!

Dates for the Diary

As we hurtle towards the end of term the diary gets fuller and fuller by the second!

Here are a few dates for your diaries:

Wednesday 27th June                  Sports Day

Thursday 5th July                        Transfer Day

Monday 23rd July                        Year Five Celebration                                                          Assembly (am)   

Tuesday 24th July                        Buddy Picnic

Wednesday 25th July                   Last day of term - off                                                          timetable

Golden Time

The numbers of children who missing their Golden Time are definitely reducing and could be even smaller if Reads and Home/School Diaries are signed. Homework can always be completed in Study Group at lunch times but it's down to you to make sure that this happens!

Whilst it's lovely to hang out with you for 25 minutes on a Friday afternoon, I'm pretty sure that you would much rather be hanging out with your friends, enjoying the rewards of extra playtime!

Well, that's it for this week. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and an even lovelier week.

See you back here next time!
