Hello and welcome back to the Year Five Blog!
Glorious weather this week wasn’t it? I am really hoping that the weather continues to behave itself for Wednesday's Sports Day. Miss Woodley and I are (foolishly) representing Year Five in the Staff Relay so it may well be that we are doing 'rain dances' the night before!
Anyway, enough of my wittering - let's see what they gang have been up to this week...
To Infinity and Beyond!
So, imagine how impressed I was whilst out on duty this Friday before school? Dotted amongst the vast crowds of children, were a few lone children proudly clutching their precious creations of the Solar System. This was the result of 5CW's Science Homework and they were brilliant!
Ted was asked to be my intrepid reporter but because they were all so busy having fun, he only took one additional picture!
...and that's just a small selection! Aren't they incredible?
Let's hope Ted can get more pictures for us next week!
Worth a Mention Children
Well done to everyone who is the board of fame this week.
It's great to see that some excellent writing has been going on in 5CW and that a lot of loveliness is going on in Year Five in general.
I'm loving Mrs Daniel's self portrait. Well, I think it's her...
Max has been mentioned for his handwriting and it has improved beyond recognition! The poor boy came into Room 4 during his Golden Time to get his picture taken but, as I was busy, he ended up missing a lot of it!
Oh no!
Hopefully the ten credits I gave him will compensate!
Advertising Executives of the Future?
In English, we are starting to look at persuasive writing and in 5MW we had a go at creating adverts in small groups, using the features that we had been learning about. Once we had done that, all the groups had a look at each other's work and edited it using a Purple Pen.
It was brilliant - we had an absolute ball looking at what everyone had got up to! It was great to hear the children being 'critical friends'.
Well done 5MW.
Nag, nag, nag!
So, I'm still having to remind children to eat healthy snacks at break time and NOT crisps!
I am also having to remind them NOT to wear trainer socks!
Please help me!
Minding that Gap!
We had our second Mind the Gap lesson on Friday and after three days of testing, it was the perfect antidote!
Here is some of my group...
They are so enthusiastic and, let's face it, a bit bonkers.
We are perfectly matched!
Well, that's it for this week. I will look forward to seeing some of you on Wednesday at Sports Day. Please cheer Miss Woodley and I on - we're rather nervous about the whole thing!
Have a good week and enjoy the glorious weather whilst it lasts!
Mrs Ray
(who went to London this weekend to see her sister and go to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. I have come to the conclusion that if a cardboard box painted in different bright colours can be exhibited in the Royal Academy then there's hope for me and Mrs Daniel yet!)
