Sorry - this has been lurking in Drafts....oops
Wow - what a week! And what a term! That’s a wrap for our first term in Y5 at Rufford Park (for all of us) and I am very proud of all the children have achieved.
As well as all the academic work over the past 14 weeks, including a fabulous Topic about World War 2, the children have begun to master the basics of ukulele playing, behaved impeccably on a school visit to Eden Camp, assisted our young buddies in Reception a couple of times, presented an end of term assembly to many parents and started to become excellent Upper Key Stage 2 role models to the younger pupils in school.
Unfortunately, we haven’t had chance to complete our DT unit on Seasonal Food – so if you get chance to cook chicken and vegetable kebabs and rice, I am certain the children can tell you all about the nutritional values etc of each ingredient.
Also, we are hoping that the children will be hunting around the house for any school reading or library books – we hope to replenish our book shelves with all the returned books at the beginning of next term.
This week has been full of Christmassy Maths and English, crafts and fun events, like our Movie Afternoon on Monday (see separate extraordinary blog post) and our Class Party on Wednesday. They have all made a lovely Christmas card, so if this hasn’t been given to you by Christmas Eve, please have a look in their school bag and retrieve it!
Thank you for all the £ donations for party food and it was lovely to see so many of you attend the WW2 Christmas Assembly on Wednesday (we were very amused to see how many Oak Tree Class family members had the misfortune of locating a ’12 Days of Christmas” card under their seat and had to stand up many times during that song. Thanks for being such good sports!)
Also, on a personal note, thank you for helping me to settle in so well to the Rufford Park community and for all my Christmas gifts, too! You are very kind.
With the warmest of wishes for a happy festive season!
See you in January.
