  THE FINAL WEEK IN 5H We certainly didn’t slack off in our last week in 5H!   We managed to squeeze in some Christmas craft and opened up the glitter jars!  We reflected back over the year with our favourite memories.   We watched Wonder and wrote some beautiful Christmas “Poetrees”.   We starred at the Christmas Concert on Tuesday night with our song “Christmas Kindness” and listened and learned as Lara shared what Christmas time means to her and her family.   Our Leadership team was announced for 2021, and we passed a big CONGRATULATIONS on to Ellie (Head Girl for 2021) and Joe(Deputy Head Boy for 2021).   We scrubbed chairs and trays! We sadly farewelled Mrs Horrocks and were entertained by some past O.L.C. students who shared their musical talents with us through song.   We delivered the final assembly of the year to farewell the current Year 6s and then… finally…. thanks to some incredible parent volunteers, we had fun at the Colour Run! ...

  What an incredible year of learning and growth we have had in 5H!    Sadly it is our final week together although it continues to be a busy one!   OUR LEARNING This week we will be concluding our Wonder unit of work and will be rewarded by viewing the movie on Tuesday to compare it to the book.   We will continue to write Information Reports on how other countries celebrate Christmas and will also be writing a Christmas “Poetree” using some of the Figurative Language we have learnt this term.   We will be having any repeat tests for children who needed more practise time to try and earn their ninja times table certificates.   Thank you to Joe and Jeremy, our photographers last week who took some snaps around our classroom of our recent activities.                                                         ...

I can’t believe I only have 6 more teaching days with the wonderful class that is 5H.  I will need a whole box of Kleenex to see me through the tears on the last day! Some important messages for the Week 8 and 9 Countdown….   ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS HAMPER APPEAL It's that time of the year again where we begin collecting Christmas goodies for members of our community less fortunate than ourselves.  5H students have been asked to bring in toiletries: shampoos, brush, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lip balm, sunscreen, moisturisers, soap, perfume etc.  Thank you for helping to make someone’s Christmas a little more special this year.   LEADERSHIP SPEECHES The children who are nominating themselves for the 2021 Leadership Team in Year 6 will present their speeches tomorrow morning (1 st of December) to the Year 4 -6 students and teachers.  These presentations will begin at 9:00am.
