Bitterne Manor Go for Gold in Athletics

Year 5 and 6 Athletes took part in Southampton indoor athletics on Friday and proved that Bitterne Manor children are our future stars. With lots of 1st, 2nd and 3rd places on various races and activities, their combined scores secured 1st place above some tough competitors. All the children went home with medals, lots of smiles and a winners cup for our trophy cabinet. Well done again!

A Wet Day Out for Year 4!

Today Year 4 visited Cheriton. It was all part of our river topic. Little did we know how wet we'd get without even falling in!!!! The weather was against us.....but it did not dampen our spirits, just made our paper soggy! Whilst we were there we compared the location to Bitterne, sights and sounds. We took measurements of the river at 3 different places - the oranges serving a key role in finding the speed of flow of the river!! We also measured the depth and width of the river - we got to put our maths work from this week into practice! Now tomorrow in maths, we are going to use the data we collected to find the answer to the question: Does the river flow fastest at it's widest?

Chinese New Year in Year R

Last Thursday, as part of our 'Around the World with Barneby Bear' topic, Year R celebrated Chinese New Year.

After writing a list of ingredients, we made Chinese noodles. When we had our party we ate these. Some fo us enjoyed the noodles so much that we had thirds!!!

We enjoyed making up actions and learning the words to the song 'Chinese New Year Is Here'.

The class also watched dragon and lion dance video clips. We then made up our own dragon dances.

Year 2 Puppet Show

Year 2 loved sharing their puppet shows. They were proud of their homework projects and enjoyed making circuits with their parents.
