Year 1 Visit Bitterne

Year 1 visited Bitterne today to carry out a traffic survey and a learning walk around the town centre. The children were very knowledgeable about the local area and the shops and services in the town. Greggs and Sainsburys seemed to be their favourites...

Excellent Egyptians!

Egyptians arrive at Bitterne Manor!

On Wednesday, a lady came to tell us lots of information about Ancient Egypt.  We learnt a lot, including that there were 7 different Cleopatra's and we learnt how to write in hieroglyphics.  We loved playing the Egyptian games and learnt that the Egyptians called themselves people from the black lands.  We even learnt about the two headed, six legged monsters!

On Thursday we held an Egyptian feast.  We all ate our Egyptian food (which was lovely, but did turn out to be fatal for Mr Adams!)  We all dressed up in our Egyptian clothes and even got our faces painted.  We had a wonderful time poisoning and mummifying Roman Adams.    (Thank you Mr Adams!)  We all looked like real Egyptians.  It's been a brilliant topic and we've learnt a lot!

Year 2 Cafe: Open For Business!

Year 2 opened 'Cafe Chocolate' to the public yesterday. Parents and other customers were treated to a selection of cakes and drinks organised by the children. Well done!

Christmas Service

Yesterday, we held our Christmas service at the Church of the Ascension in Bitterne. Led by the Rev Andy Smith, the school celebrated Christmas with readings, songs and a performance by the pre-school, school choir and Year 3 recorders. We were so pleased that so many of you came to join in with us and would like to thank Rev Andy and his team for their welcome and support.

Year R visit B&Q!

Year R had great fun exploring B&Q! We were very lucky to take part in a workshop, where we made our own bird feeders to take home. We also had fun making Christmas decorations. We used lots of glue and glitter to decorate fir cones! Well done Year R for listening so well and making fantastic decorations!

Guildhall Concert 2013

While we are not allowed to take photographs inside the Guildhall, we thought these pictures taken outside would be good way to say a huge well done to all the children who took part in the concert this year. I'm sure you will all agree with us in saying how fantastic it was seeing the children from so many Southampton schools performing so brilliantly.

JPCSOs Complete Training!

Our Autumn team of JPCSO have successfully competed their training working alongside our PCSOs! Here they are receiving their certificates and being shown around a Police van. All the children have gained a tremendous amount from the experience and we look forward to working with the next team in the Spring.

Athletics Competition

12 children took part in the Southampton Schools Indoor Athletics Competition. The children did us proud and came first and second in the races! What Champions!

Gymnastics Festival

On Tuesday 19th November 13 children showed off their skills and took part in a gymnastic festival. After a great display, they were able to test out some of the equipment, used by Gymnastics Champions during training.
