A huge well done to our awards winners this week

Parliament week.png

This week was UK Parliament Week, which meant it was time for our school council elections again. A huge well done to everyone who gave a speech in front of the rest of the class, I'm sure it was a very tough decision for everyone to choose who to vote for. After the votes were counted, our two new school councillors will be Iona and Fox. Congratulations to you both and I'm sure you will represent our class brilliantly on this year's school council.

Science Space project

This half term we are setting the children in year 5 a creative homework activity. The children are going to be creating a space themed masterpiece based on their learning within class. We are then going to show case these to all parents on Thursday 11th December at the end of the day in our school hall. It will be so lovely for every child to complete an activity based on Space. The completed projects are to be brought into school from Monday 8^th December. The children were very excited about this project and it will allow them to discuss their learning with parents at home as they create their homework. Below are examples of what the children might want to create.

Rainbow Raffle

Thank you for the donations towards our class rainbow raffle hamper. It is much appreciated. As you already know, our class has been assigned the colour PURPLE. Please see the dates below:

Please bring donations into school by Monday 15th December.

Hampers will be raffled off at our carols in the hall on the afternoon of Thursday 18th December. Tickets were sent home in bags on Monday. Please return any money and ticket stubs in an envelope to the school office. Any unsold tickets can be sent back to the office also. Thank you for your support in making this a fun and colourful event for our school community.

Homework

This week's spellings are listed below. There are activities assigned on Spelling Shed for your children to complete based on our new spellings. The children are tested weekly on a Thursday.

Reading

We ask the children to read as much as possible as there are huge benefits to this within all areas of the curriculum. Children can bring their book back into school any day and they are able to change them independently.

Bikeability Success!

This week, Year 5 took part in Bikeability, and we could not be more proud of them. The children showed incredible resilience, determination, and a fantastic attitude throughout the two days of training. It was wonderful to see every child grow in confidence and develop their cycling skills.

All pupils will be coming home today with their certificate and badge to celebrate their achievement.

A huge well done to the whole of Year 5!

DT

This half term, our DT project is to plan, design, and make our own decorative stockings. This week, we have been exploring different stitches and practising them. The children have really enjoyed these lessons, and we are looking forward to seeing their designs come to life.
