Voucher Collection

Thank you for all those of you who have collected either Sainsbury's or Tesco's vouchers this year. We are busy counting them all up and are about to send off our Tesco vouchers - please have a rummage around as it's not too late to send them in! The Sainsbury's scheme finishes this week. We'll let you know the totals and what we plane to spend them on as soon as our school councillors have decided.

Time Capsules!

Year 4 are showing off their amazing time capsules that they created as part of their homework project. Each has objects inside that are important to them. After the capsule is buried, far in the future, someone will learn all about us!

Science Day Fun!

All of the children have had a fantastic day of scientific investations today. From bubble blowing and stretching sweets to shadow puppets and boat designing, so much learning went on. Many thanks to Mrs Freeman for inspriring us all!

Year R at Hawthorns

Year R enjoyed their trip to Hawthorns.

They took part in a number of activities such as pretending to be squirrels hiding their food, acting as birds looking for 'wool' caterpillars and a mini-beast hunt. The class found out about camouflage, how to use mini-beast classification keys and what it must be like to be a centipede.

Year R really should be congratulated on their behaviour. I would also like to thank all those parents who came along and helped- you are great!

Education City

Bitterne Manor now subscribes to Education City which is a leading provider of e-learning resources for schools and families. All our pupils are now able to log in and use the activities at school and at home. Children should be coming home soon with user ids and passwords. For more information, head over to www.educationcity.com or if you need your child's log in details please contact our office.

Year 6 SATs

We would like to say how proud we are of our Year 6 children. Their attitude towards their SATs was exemplary. Everyone tried their best. The SATs are only a very small part of our assessment process in year 6, they provide a snap shot in time. We have very strong Teacher Assessment evidence based on all of the work children have done during year 6 and this is our preferred way of assessing children.
We hope year 6 will enjoy their trip to Itchen Valley on Monday as a reward for all of their hard work!

Year 4 Visit the Roman Palace

We hope you enjoy looking at the pictures of our trip to Fishbourne Roman Palace, near Chichester. We certainly enjoyed the experience, as you can see, of finding out about this amazing piece of our past. We learnt a lot from seeing these Roman remains first hand and being trainee archaeologists! We would especially like to thank Mr Tanner and Mrs Longley for their help supporting our trip.
