Southampton School's Athletics

Here are the photos from the Southampton school athletics competition held today. Bitterne Manor entered a full team of 30 pupils who competed against 15 other schools from the city at the city sports ground. All the children did extremely well in all their events and (very proudly!) our team came 8th overall! There were some outstanding individual performances from Ryan in year 4 and Shani in Year 5. Well done everyone! Thanks to all the parents who came to assist and support us!

Year 4 Guitars

The children learning guitar in Year 4 performed a few of their songs to the class - we were so impressed that we thought we'd like to share one that we recorded on our blog. It's a great tune as well!

Listen!

Year 5 SEAL Day


As part of SEAL Day, Year 5 found out about Adinkra patterns from Ghana. We used the patterns to design symbols to represent ourselves and made individual prints of these. We also made a whole class pattern using our symbols to create a design that represents us as a group.

Africa!


Last term Year 6 did an awesome job making their African masks using a range of materials including leaves, lentils and sequins. This is our display of them.
