What a week! Year 5 have been extremely busy at Runways End completing many challenges. They have been abseiling, caving, climbing, canoeing and taking part in archery to name a few of the activities. All the children have had a wonderful experience and it’s been great for us to get to know the children in a different setting. Huge praise to Year 5E who had a fire evacuation at 03:50 on their last evening at Runways End – they performed the fire drill to perfection and were so well behaved when the fire service arrived.
Homework last week was set for the 7th October as we felt it was unfair to ask the children to complete it while they were away on residential. New homework will be set next week.
This week Lenny Perriman (5E) received the golden leaf award for ‘using the gifts God gave him for his creativity’. He entertained the children and the staff brilliantly during our campfire evening. Aidan Kelly (5E) has his writing displayed on the showstoppers wall. Children in 5F were away on the residential so were not involved with the golden leaf or showstopper writing this week.
Please be aware of the CAFOD harvest assembly next Friday (7th Oct). The children are being asked for a donation on the Thursday so they can wear brightly coloured clothing. Some items will be on sale from other year groups that day so they may want some money to spend. Year 5 will be holding a cake sale on the Friday, when CAFOD representatives are in visiting. Please send children into school with their cakes on that morning. They may also want some money for these delicious treats – sorry! Money raised will be going to CAFOD, a very worthy cause.
Have a relaxing weekend and hopefully the children can catch up on sleep!
