Year 3 trip to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard


Year 3 visited the Mary Rose museum in Portsmouth to learn more about Henry V111 favourite warship. Later we handled replica artefacts from some of the men aboard ship, having to guess their jobs. Then, in role, we performed a 'gun drill' loading cannon ready to fire on our 'enemies'! Great fun.

Gardening update

Well done to Year 4 for their winning weight of potatoes grown! There were plenty of spuds grown so pupils in Years 3 and 4 were each able to take home a potato.







Year 3s dwarf beans are growing and the full sized ones are busy climbing up the canes. The pumpkin seedlings however, have been 'slugged' so we'll try again!

Boys Singing Workshop


The boys in Years 5 & 6 went along to a fantastic singing workshop at Oakwood Junior School. The session was run by a performer from the Royal Opera House in London. He taught the boys how to warm up and use their voices. They put this to good use by learning a Beatles number and an African song. It was a great afternoon!

Year 5 & 6 visit the Book Festival

This week Years 5 & 6 were lucky enough to meet the author Ali Sparkes. During her excellent talk she explained how she started out as a writer (whilst she was a pupil at Bitterne Park Secondary School!) and where her ideas for her stories come from. She emphasised the importance of never giving up and has inspired some of our young writers!
