Design and Technology in Year 1!

Year 1 had to think carefully about how to make a stable home for the pigs. It had to be strong enough so that the wolf could not blow it down! The children planned their work, made their home and then evaluated their work. They also spent time trying to blow down all of the homes!

 

Year 3, 4 and 5 enjoy finding out about Kathakali!

Year 3, 4 and 5 were very lucky to have a talk and a performance by Kathakali specialists. Kathakali is a classical dance drama from Kerala, South India. The children had the chance to experience a powerful drama where the emotions are expressed through facial expression and gestures.

Years 5 & 6 enjoyed a special R.E. day based on the Christian miracle stories. The day was led by Chris, Paul and Neil from Southampton City Mission and involved inventive practical activities linked to the messages behind the stories (including mummy racing!). In the afternoon Year 6 created some excellent collages to represent the stories they had heard.

Year 6 go orienteering!

Year 6 had a great day at Itchen Valley Country Park. This SATs rewards trip gave them the opportunity to relax after all their hard work and take part in an orienteering competition around the park. The weather was amazing and a good time was had by all!

Year 6 Art Gallery Trip

Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic workshop at the Southampton City Art Gallery. They were shown how to use printmaking techniques in the style of Pop Artist Andy Warhol to re-create an image of the Queen. The artist leading the workshop was very impressed with the prints made by the children! They will go on display in Year 6 classroom.

Sholing Win the Hampshire Cup!

Sholing Whites Under 11's finished a remarkable season by winning the Hampshire Cup, in doing so they completed a clean sweep of all the trophies, finishing with the treble. The Hampshire Cup final on Sunday was again a tight affair with both teams having their moments in the game, both sets of of players again putting a tremendous amount of effort into the game and the quality of football on show was a credit to any under 11's game of football. Sholing started the game very brightly and indeed the first goal arrived on three minutes when Bitterne Manors very own Ryan Puckett ran through from 40 yards out to unleash a 20 yard shot that flew into the bottom far corner. The game then was played mostly in midfield with both defences being on top and very few chances for the forwards. At full time the score was 2-2. The match went in to extra time and Sholing scored making the FINAL SCORE 3-2. Well Done!
