Disco-mania!

Wow! A disco with bubbles, snow, balloon hats, limbo and Crazy M...what more could you want?
Thanks to the PTA and staff who helped to organise another fantastic disco.

Cricket Winners

Our site manager Mr Rowles has led Bitterne Manor cricket team to Victory in a match against Townhill. We have had 3 matches, so far, and the scores have been very close. Each time the children have been steadily improving their cricket skills. Cricket at this level is new to Bitterne Manor this year and we also have coaches in curriculum time for other year groups. All the children are enjoying this new and exciting challenge .
The only way is up!!!

Marvellous measuring....

Year 5 came to the rescue of Miss Starling this week, by measuring how much food Miss Starling had left in her cupboards, so she knows exactly what to put on her shopping list! They practised estimating the weight first, before then using scales to check the accuracy of their estimates! We will be putting the skills we have learnt to the test when we make chocolate brownies and bread later this half term!

Year 1 play netball!

A group of Year 1 children went to Bitterne Park School to learn some netball skills! The students from Bitterne Park worked with the children to show them how to throw and catch a ball as well as shooting. They ended by playing a game using their new skills. Well done Year 1 and thank you to Bitterne Park for hosting this fun event!

Lots of fun in Year 1!

Year 1 have been busy measuring and comparing objects as well as different parts of their body.




Year 1 have been giving and following a range of different instructions. They made pasta skeletons by reading and following instructions but the legs did keep falling off!



A big well done for all of the fantastic homework projects. Year 1 were brilliant at speaking and listening whilst sharing their projects! They also made their own 'All about me' booklets and enjoyed binding their work to make the booklet!

Year 5 Victorian fun!

We have had a fun-filled couple of weeks in year 5! Last week, we visited SEARCH Gosport Historical museum to find out more about class differences in Victorian Britain. As part of this trip we were able to handle Victorian artefacts and even role play as the servants and masters/mistresses! Some of the children were even able to fully dress up in Victorian costume, while the class was taught about all the different articles of clothing which would have been worn!





This week, we have experienced a day in the life of a Victorian school child. The whole class dressed up in Victorian outfits and we followed the timetable of a Victorian school, including learning how to convert between farthings, pennies and shillings! The children were apparently most shocked about how strict Miss Starling, Mrs Martin and Mrs Meddings really could be!





We also performed our dance inspired by Victorian machines in the factories and retold the poem 'The Highwayman' with actions!





We would like to thank all of the adults both in school and at home that helped us to have so much fun these last two weeks!
