Sports Week

Speedmark Challenge Every class took part in the speedmark challenge to see how fast they could shoot a football into a big inflatable goal. all the children showed good sportsmanship by cheering each other on. Sports Day What a fabulous day! Wednesday was Bitterne Manors annual sports day. Children, parents and teachers all got into the spirit of the competition, supporting their house teams, Victory, Challengers, Freedom and Stars. Parents turned up in full colours to support the children. This year we celebrated the Olympics with an opening ceremony, starting with a parade of house teams then assembled on the playground to sin 'SING' by Gary Barlow which was amazing. Freedom won the cup with 1895 points. Well Done!

Olympic Torch Bearer Visit

We were delighted to welcome our special visitor today who came to tell us all about how he was chosen to be an Olympic torch bearer. Matt inspired us all with his confidence and determination. He told the children how he aspires to be a Paralympian one day in his favourite sport - wheelchair basketball. Good luck Matt!

Year 1 are Superheroes!

Year 1 all looked very different when they came into school this week, they were lots of different superheroes! We spent the day finding out about different superheroes and special powers. We went on different missions including helping people who had fallen over, catching a giant and some robbers, rescuing sheep as well as saving a princess from a burning building. Year 1 had to think carefully about which powers to use and they had to write their own mission cards. We also had a Superhero themed PE lesson!

Year 5 Stroll to Sea City

This week, year 5 walked to Sea City Museum. We spent the morning enjoying a guided tour of the Gateway to the World exhibition, before learning about how Southampton has changed over time through a selection of hands on activities. The weather held out, so we were able to eat our lunches in the park, before revisiting the Gateway to the World exhibition and having a quick look at the Titanic exhibition! Sadly, there just wasn't enough time to see it all!

City Athletics

21 Children represented Bitterne Manor in a number of events at the annual city athletics championships. Bitterne Manor were in the top 3 in 12 events. Well Done to all the children and adults that helped. Another great day!
