Year 1

Year 1 have been busy in PE completing lots of different team building games. They have been learning new skills as well as learning to work together as a team.

We have also enjoyed having Year 6 come and read to us on Fridays. Thank you Year 6!

OFSTED!

Just to let parents know that our latest report from Ofsted can now be accessed via the school website.
We are delighted that the inspectors enjoyed their visit to us and that they recognised what a fantastic school we have! The children thoroughly enjoyed talking to the inspectors about their school and made us all as proud as ever.
A big well done to everyone!

Cricket

Bitterne Manor have had its first cricket match. The children enjoyed themselves and did the school proud by trying their best and encouraging each other. Well done.

Anti-bullying week

Year 3 have taken part in lots of activities this week.

We have written some amazing stories, have given our classmates compliments through pictures, created a 'Say no to bullying' display using our bodies to make the shapes of the letters and taken part in drama activities. As a class we are most proud of our giant 'Say no to bullying poster'.

Thank you to all the parents who came in on Friday to see our work.

If you didn't make it in on Friday don't worry you haven't missed out, our display is up outside our classroom for you to see.

Outdoor Survival Club!

Over the past few weeks 'Bitterne Manor Survival Club' members have been making dens, fishing rods, and traps. This week they have survived their own 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' bush tucker trial! No worms, slugs or woodlice were harmed in the process!

Anti-bullying week!

In year 5, we have been really busy with anti-bullying activities! We have talked about what bullying is, and what actions we should take if we think we are being bullied. To help us learn more about bullying and how we should act towards each other, we have created some storyboards in groups, some fantastic artwork and a communication charter! If you visit year 5, you will see the brilliant idea that some of the children came up with to make sure that everyone uses the charter every day!

Anti-Bullying Week 2011

We have had a busy week learning about Anti-Bullying. Every class has explored bullying, what it means, how it hurts, what to do about it and how to avoid being a by-stander.
This year's theme is "STOP AND THINK - Words can hurt". Each class has created a charter and explored how unkind words make us feel. They have also learnt to give compliments and make eachother feel good.
Parents were invited in to share in our work....we hope they enjoyed the visit!
