Dear 2016 year 5's

Dear 2016 year 5's,

Most of you 2015 year 4's will soon be going up to the second highest year level in the school. This means doing lots of fun activities like EOTC week, having responsibilities like bridging the gap, doing the speeches and fun things and lots, lots more. This also includes doing your last year of awesome garden to table.

In year 5 you will have Education Outside The Classroom or EOTC week. This such a fun week spending time with your friends all throughout year 5. It includes going on long walks or sometimes just playing games at school. You might even get to go to some really fun places we went too. But I don't want to ruin it for you so you will have to wait and find out what you are doing.

In year 5 and year 6 having responsibilities is very fun but important. This includes bridging the gap which is where you go to the junior side and either, look after juniors and solve their problems which is called duty. There is also games which is where you play games with the juniors and the last one you can choose out of is where you help and play with juniors who have problems or who struggle when doing things. You can do bridging the gap every term and it is really fun.

The last things we did in 2015 were really fun like assembly's, exhibitions, trips and much more. This year our assembly's were really fun for example our brain break assembly. We enjoyed that so much and we hope you did too. Also this year was the science exhibition. Some of the science was pretty cool. But next year we will have the art exhibition. Also we have speeches. Which is a mix of fun, boring and hard. If you do well you go into the school finals and then the zones and the Lions after that.

Overall being in year 5 is really fun because we have EOTC week, we have responsibilities, we have lots of fun things and much more. That also includes having awesome teachers!!

Have fun all of you,

   Kind regards,

      Olivia C.
