Here are the spellings that we have been learning about this week:
Year 5 Spellings – w.c. 3/6/24
Category : Mrs Dutton’s Class
Year 5: D -Day Assembly with the Royal British Legion
Today, Year 5 enjoyed an assembly from Mick at the Royal British Legion. We learned all about the D-Day landings and why they are so important to our history, as well as finding out about the different ways in which the 80th Anniversary of D-Day will be celebrated tomorrow. Mick is Thorne’s Town Crier and he gave us a sneak preview of the important announcement that he will be making tomorrow morning at 8am to kick-start the celebrations (which will take place in Memorial Park throughout the day).
Year 5 – First Aid Workshop
Year 5 have enjoyed a first aid workshop today, as part of our expedition focus on healthy bodies. Children learnt about how to respond if they come across an injured person or somebody who might be choking. They were also shown the correct method for chest compressions.
We hope the children never need to use any of the skills they have learned today but, if they ever do, hopefully they will be much better prepared to do so. To help children remember the information learned today, they have all taken away an information booklet alongside their certificate. Well done everyone!
Y5 Spelling Practice – w.c. 20/5/2024
This week, Year 5 have continued to practise words from the Y5/6 statutory list, including those we have practised before but which need further consolidation. Don’t forget to bring in any evidence of your home practice so that you can add up those HoWL points back in class!
KS2 Disco!
Our KS2 children have all enjoyed their disco this evening … sweets, treats and plenty of dancing!! A big thank you to the Friends of GreenTop for organising this fab event for our children 🙂
Class 15 – keeping our minds healthy through activity
In this morning’s crew session, we learned all about how physical activity can actually help our minds to feel fitter and healthier too. To put this into practice, we all completed a good morning jog by running a few laps around the 3G pitch and I think the smiles speak for themselves!
Year 5 Spelling Practice
Here are this week’s spellings for you to practise at home:
Crew Dutton – Team Building Games in the Sunshine
Last Friday, part of Crew Dutton were out for bikeability in the sun. To keep ourselves busy back in class, the rest of us enjoyed some crew games out on the playground. Children enjoyed playing lava and trying their best to find safe passage for all their team across the molten floor – unfortunately only a few survived … just!
Y5 – Kixx in the Sun
This afternoon, Year 5 have enjoyed another fun-filled session with Coach Kyle from Kixx Doncaster. Coach Kyle put them through their paces with some attacking and defending drills before the children enjoyed a game on the field. Well done everyone – a great session!
Class 15 – Amazing HoWLs
Last week, Class 15 celebrated yet another week at the top of the UKS2 HoWLs leaderboard. To celebrate, we enjoyed some delicious ice-lollies and an extra playtime in the sun. Well done everyone – keep it up and let’s see if we can make it a hat-trick by winning again on Monday!
