Smoothies

Today we had a really fun afternoon courtesy of by Taylor Shaw. The children all worked together to create 2 different smoothies using a bicycle to power the blenders.

This was a wonderful opportunity to build upon our DT learning from last term assessing and evaluating Caribbean fruit cocktails.

Children were all given a chance to “power” the blender and while they were waiting they had to complete an exercise circuit to keep them active. The children had a wonderful time and really enjoyed trying the different smoothies.

Our Sponsored Walk in Aid of the Good Shepherd

The children enjoyed the sponsored walk on Thursday. We will give an update soon of the distance walked in total by Y5, who walked many, many laps and were really proud of themselves. They should be able to tell you the distance they walked. There is a link on Parentpay if you are able to make a small donation to the Good Shepherd Appeal.

Thank you for your generosity.

Good Shepherd Appeal Fundraiser

On Thursday 21^st March, both year 4/5 and year 5 classes will be taking part in a sponsored walk in aid of the Hallam Diocese Caritas Good Shepherd Appeal.

We will be walking laps of the school field and the school yard.

As 3 laps = 1km, we hope that they will be able to walk at least this far, if not further! Because it is likely to be muddy, children may wear P.E. kit. Please can all children bring a change of socks and shoes, or alternatively wellies or other suitable boots on that day. Thank you.

We are not sending out a sponsor form for this event, but contributions can be made via the Caritas Good Shepherd Appeal link on Parentpay, and we can also accept cash donations.

World Book Day

We have had a great day in year 5. All of the classes throughout the school were given the challenge of decorating their door to a book. After a structured class vote we decided upon two contrasting books. ‘The Explorer’ and ‘Friend or Foe’. At the end of the day we welcomed some parents and grandparents in to read with their children, and celebrate World Book Day.

We all had a great time.

Homework

Homework will now be updated on the homework tab each Thursday.

Homework folders will be coming home on a Thursday containing pupils homework.

Homework will be marked on the following Thursday.

Thanks,

Mr Yacomeni

Ukulele time!

On Friday 1st December, Year 5 had a fantastic lesson learning how to play the ukulele. They worked together to play some simple songs and learnt to play with the accompaniments. Well Done Year 5!

Advent Assembly

Thank you to everyone who came to support Year 5 with the blessing of the Advent Wreaths. The children really did me proud with how well they spoke their lines and sang beautifully. It was a truly wonderful assembly.
