Year R and 1 mobile farm!

Year R and 1 enjoyed having their very own farm in our school field! We spent the morning looking at and stroking lots of different animals including pigs, turkeys, sheep, goats, rabbits and alpackas! We found out many interesting facts! Year 1 are also going to Manor Farm on Monday 12th March.

Football News!

Our year fives and sixes had a great time taking part in a football tournament at Bitterne Park Secondary School today. Mrs O'Hara was very proud of their efforts and how well they played! Well done to the girls in their first ever competition and to the boys who were runners up over all, despite winning all of their matches!

Chocolate brownies!!!

In year 5, we have been making chocolate brownies to practise our instruction writing and measuring skills! We worked in teams to try and create perfect chocolate brownies - they certainly smelt very good! Keep an eye out for our finished instructions on the blog!

Mayor Opens Our New Learning Garden!

Today saw the official opening of our new learning garden. We were pleased to welcome the Mayor of Southampton to perform the ceremony and, along with our school council, he cut the ribbon to declare the garden area open. All pupils will get a chance to visit the area tomorrow and start using it straight away which is very exciting. The Mayor also spent some time touring the classrooms and meeting the children who asked him lots of interesting questions about his role.
