Crazy Book Characters!
Check out our awesome costumes that we dressed in on Friday as part of Book Week. We had a great time dressing up and there was a big variety of costumes in our class.

Book Week at St Thomas's, 2015
Last week was our bi-annual (every 2 years) St Thomas's Book Week. A week filled with everything to do with books!
It started on Monday morning when we arrived at school to find our door decorated with The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It looked so good! (We just wonder WHO did it?!)
During the week, the Book Fair was held in the school library. We were able to browse the many books and we each wrote a 'wish list' to take home of the books we liked.
Many thanks to the generous donations from Eva and Ruby's family who donated books for our class library. We now have some wonderful books to read which is very exciting!
On Tuesday we watched the Perform Musical called Worlds Apart. This was the story about two characters - Molly and Edward, who lived 100 years apart but were able to communicate with each other through a magic box.
On Thursday a visiting author, Melinda Szymanik came and talked to us about her job and read to us one of her books called The Ware Nana (not a bedtime story). We really enjoyed her story!
Finally, on Friday we were came to school dressed up as a book character. We had a Character Parade in the hall with the other classes from Syndicate 2. There were so many different characters, and some people had put a lot of effort into making their costumes.
What a fun week we had!

M5's Garden
Recently we asked our lovely Caretaker Shaun to clean out our garden of old plants so that we could get it ready to plant seeds to grow something fresh and new.
M5's Green Rangers (Eva, Dior, Tia and Sasha D) went and got a few wheel barrows full of garden mix and dug it through the garden so that it made the soil much better for what we wanted to plant in it.
After digging through the garden mix, M5 scattered seeds onto the garden and we gave it a light rake so that they were covered, before giving it a gentle water.
We are growing flowers to give the front of our class a bright, pretty exterior.
We would also like to make some garden sculptures later in the year for our garden as well.
Stay tuned for photos and updates of our beautiful garden over the next couple of months!

St Thomas's TV!
This term Mrs Agoston has been working with some senior students to bring us daily live broadcasts to our classrooms to give us our notices and other important things happening in the school.
These broadcasts are filmed in a room opposite our class, so we have to be careful not to make noise which could be heard on the camera when they are filming.
As well as these daily broadcasts, every Friday the film crew video the Senior and Junior assemblies so that the classes who don't attend the assembly are able to watch it from the comfort of their own rooms!
Last week it was Miss Hooper's class assembly. We enjoyed watching the children's item which was all about Independent Learners! (Something we know lots about in M5 too!)
