Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
I hope you all had a good half term and lots of fun in the process. As usual, we hit the ground running on our return to school on Monday and are back on it as far as the learning is concerned.
Worth a Mention Children
Huge congratulations for the children who found themselves on this week's prestigious Worth a Mention Board.
It is great to see that Sport, endeavour and achievement is recognised by your teachers.
I also see that Mrs Daniel continues to surpass herself as far as her drawing is concerned.
Well done one and all!
Dippy's Legacy
We all thoroughly enjoyed visiting Dippy when he was in situ at Dorset County Museum didn't we? Year Six have produced incredible leaflets and some of Year Five have written terrific descriptions of Dippy - I have sent a few to the Museum as I was so impressed with them.
One of the lasting legacies is the fabulous piece of art that was created by the whole school during our Dippy Day in April.
We now have a constant reminder of the day that Dippy came into our lives. It's brilliant isn't it? Every single child in the school contributed to this - how incredible is that?
Year Five's Sporting Heroes
Our school has many, many strengths and our excellent Sports Department is one of them. It has been a great week of Sport in Year Five and I am so excited for and proud of the children that took part in two events in particular. The following words are by Mr Roberts.
Anyone for Tennis?
Well done to our trio of Key Stage Two tennis players which saw Elliot win 2 matches and James
1 match. It was a great experience for pupils to play at Dorchester Tennis and Squash Club.
Cracking Cricket!
CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!
SW DORSET KWIK CRICKET TOURNAMENT
Wednesday 6th June 2018
Year 5 Cricket Team
Our magnificent Year 5 Cricket Team rose to the almighty challenge of a West Dorset Cricket Tournament today.
They were imperious in all they did,playing like a First Class England 11 facing a Test Match.
Our pupils deserve applause and adoration for their sportsmanship and conduct.
DMS played 4 and WON 4 taking 17 wickets in the process.
How fantastic is that?
Well done and a HUGE thank you to all of our Year Five children.
Golden Time
There was a huge improvement in the number of children who missed their Golden Time this so well done Year Five - you may well be heading towards me humiliating myself by skipping in heels yet!
Keep reading, keep doing your homework, keep getting your diary signed and keep out of the Detention Room.
Simple.
Uniform Reminder
In the newsletter that went out at the end of half term, we reminded everyone that correct uniform needs to be worn at school. One of the stipulations is that trainer socks are not to be worn however, after doing an impromptu spot check during my Lunchtime Duty on Friday, there are A LOT of children wearing them. They are not part of our uniform so please don't wear them!
Mr Murray and I will be checking again on Monday - you have been warned!!
Sowing the Seeds...
So, I bought a few plants from Miss Still a couple of weeks ago (see the last Blog) and I am pleased to announce that I haven't manage to kill them, yet!
I am so proud of having something in my garden that was grown and nurtured by children in our school. (Green) fingers crossed they survive. I'll keep you updated.
So, that's it for this week.
I hope you all have a super week and I'll look forward to seeing you back here next time.
