5H OLC

Welcome to Week 4 in 5H! Once again we extend our heartfelt sympathy to our wonderful Violet and her family on the sudden death of David, Violet's Dad.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.   In or blog this week we thought we would update you on our first couple of weeks as well as give you some reminders for this week ( of special note THE SWIMMING TRIALS TOMORROW ).  Please read on... What a fabulous first fortnight we have had in 5H and what a wonderful year of learning we can look forward to!   We have found out who was born in the same month as us and took photos for our Birthday Chart.   Chloe.R. and Tiago found out they were birthday twins, both being born on the 10 th of August! The children have loved taking responsibility for their new iHelp jobs.    Special Shoutout to DJ Alexandra for being brave enough to be the first 5H DJ to share her favourite songs with us.    The DJ job is a way we can build trust in 5H w...

  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.                                                         ...
