Welcome Box Event

A huge thank you for the donations of deodorant that you kindly gave for the welcome boxes.  It was a great event, with all the schools coming together to fill around 80 boxes of goodies for refugee families arriving in our city.  All the Learning Leaders did a brilliant job of promoting the event and decorating the boxes.

Swifts have their VOTE!

Today is a very important day at Bitterne Manor Primary School as the Learning Leader elections are taking place!  Members of the Swift class have thought hard about the qualities needed to represent their class and school all week.  As a result, a small group of them have courageously put themselves forward.  Their speeches where amazing and each candidate thought carefully about why they wanted to represent their class.  Each and every one of them should be very proud as they are all worthy candidates! Well done :)

GO SUPER SWIFTS! 

Learning Leaders Meeting

Our new Learning Leaders met today for the first time to discuss some of our ideas for making our school even better.  One of the main things we discussed was how we could raise additional funds for our school field, including writing to local businesses to ask for a donation.  Judging by their attitude this afternoon, I have no doubt that this year's Learning Leaders will again be outstanding!

Lead Learners visit the Mayor

Our Lead Learners had a fantastic afternoon visiting the Council Chambers to meet with the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Southampton, Councillor Barnes-Andrews.  They had the opportunity to try on some robes, see the Mayor's rooms and learn more about the his role and responsibilities.  They were fantastic ambassador's for our school, asking really interesting questions and demonstrating their impeccable manners.  Well done!

  

Lead Learners Demonstrate Pride!

One of our Lead Learners came up with the fantastic idea of tidying up the area outside of the school so it is more welcoming.  They were all keen to help out and did a fantastic job of weeding yesterday afternoon.  We only had a short amount of time, as it was rather warm but I'm sure you'll agree that it already looks much tidier.  Well done Lead Learners - what great role models you are!

Working hard!

Election day!

The long awaited day had arrived where we got to vote for our learning leaders. It was very exciting. Well done to everyone who put themselves forward unfortunately not everyone could be voted in. A big well done to our winners.

Learning Leaders visit to the Mayour's Parlour

Our Learning Leaders had a brilliant visit this afternoon to the Mayor of Southampton's offices in the Civic Centre. We were hosted by Councillor Les Harris, the Sheriff of Southampton, who was sharing with us some of the city's collection of artefacts from all over the world. We also had a tour of the Mayoral chambers and the City Council meeting room. Thanks very much to the Sheriff and Mayor's office for their time showing us around and sharing their pride in our great city!
