And just like that… the end of the year is here. What an amazing year it has been with this amazing group of children. The combination of personalities, humour and brains has really made it such a fun year. The Year 5 team would like to thank the children for all of their hard work, focus, determination and most importantly, kindness.

Although the workload decreased gradually this week, the children were still kept busy with lots of fun activities. To finish our french unit of food, we experienced a french food tasting afternoon with plenty on the menu. A range of sweet treats such as croissants, pan nu chocolats and crepes were served up along with some savory cheeses of brei and camembert. The children then washed this down with some red wine (cranberry juice) or white wine (apple and grapefruit juice).

We also had our final PE lessons of the year, both inside and out, with the children taking part in a whole class cricket match (with a few teachers included). The children voted on boys vs girls, with the girls coming out as 3-0 winners. We then all participated in a friendly tournament of silent dodgeball- a brilliant invention of mine I must say.

The highlight of our week was definitely at the beginning of the week with the end of year play- and it truly was the greatest show! The children’s energy and excitement around the whole production was amazing. I am one for sure am looking forward to their play this time next year.

Let’s Celebrate
