The Golden Lock...

This half term a 'Golden Lock' has been revealed to the children at Bitterne Manor Primary School! To help encourage children to bike or scoot to school they will be given a chance to win a special prize! Mrs Rice will place a 'Golden Lock' on a bike or scooter and that child will win something just for coming to school on it! How cool is that? Ruby was the lucky winner when it started last week.  Well done! I wonder who will win next...? Good luck! 

The Winning Poem Is....

Well done to everyone who took part in the Scare the Cars day - a reminder about safe and healthy ways to travel! Congratulations to our winner, Millie, and her super poem - first out of over 3000 entries! Some great scary masks, too....

J Rock fundraiser!

The Physical Challenge for our fundraiser is now complete!

Mount Everest is 8,848m.  The Physical Challenge was a circuit involving climbing up, along and over numerous obstacles.  Each lap completed was awarded 5m towards our total.  

Puffins - 1060m

Kingfishers - 960m

Robins - 1500m

Swifts - 1320m

Nightingales - 1300m

Rooks - 1480m

Owls - 1445m

Kestrals - 1400m

Our grand total was = 10,465m  So we not only achieved our goal of climbing Everest - we started our descent as well!

Every class approached the challenge with determination and all children showed great enthusiasm, supported and encouraged each other to help reach our target.  

The children should now be completing the Healthy Living Challenge - can they give up sweets for the week?

Please remember children have been asked to collect sponsorship for the 2 challenges - all monies and forms need to be brought into school by Thursday 22nd October.
