Year 3 Rock stars in the making!

Year 3 have started their weekly In2music guitar lessons.


We are all concentrating hard and using our walking fingers!

Keep up the good work year 3.

Can't wait for our first concert!

Let the games begin! Football

Bitterne Manor have opened the season at an under 11s tournament.  With three lads from year 6 and five from year 4, we were the youngest team there! Our boys played 9 matches and proved that they were a force to be taken seriously with a win and a couple of draws. Well done boys!

Year 2 at the Boatshow

Year 2 had a wonderful trip to the PSP Southampton Boatshow. They were amazed by the Sunseekers and enjoyed relaxing on the sun decks. The canoeing challenge was hard work but the children had fun racing one another. Year 2 were a credit to the school and behaved so well. It was a pleasure to spend the day with them at the show.

Bike It at Bitterne Manor!

Yesterday at Bitterne Manor was BIKE IT day! We were extremely pleased to see how many of our parents and pupils had brought in their bikes and scooters to school - around half the school took up the offer of a free bike & scooter check! So overwhelming was the response that the Bike Doctor team will be returning soon to catch up on all those that didn't get checked - please check our notice boards if your bike missed out. Matt Porter of 'Sustrans' led an assembly for all pupils about Being Bright and Being Seen when they're out on their bikes and reminded them about how to be sensible and polite to pedestrians when riding on the pavement. Pupils were also invited to take part in the 'BE A TWO-ZERO HERO' competition - more details can be found at www.sustrans.org.uk/twozerohero.

Welcome back to year 5.

As we are now in our third week back at school, the year fives are truly into the swing of things. The new topic of Rock 'n' Roll has seen children show a great amount of enthusiasm, listening to music from the 1950s up to the present day, and now coming up with dance routines for an upcoming performance. In literacy we have been studying traditional tales, identifying typical features and writing a news report for Beauty and the Beast's wedding. The children now look to write their own traditional tale, using their imagination, whilst adhering to the style and structure of other traditional tales. With a planned science experiement coming up tomorrow, I look forward to keeping you updated on their progress.

We are very pleased to welcome Year R to Bitterne Manor!

We have enjoyed welcoming the Year R children to school life! They have explored the school and the classroom and have taken part in many activities including PE, number work, reading, painting, making and sticking, computers, puzzles, bikes and many more! Please see the pictures below. Well done Year R for a great start to school!

Milford-on-Sea

Year 6 enjoyed a trip to Milford-on-Sea to study the coastal environment. They saw first hand how coastal defences were being used to protect the land and how people use the area. Of course there was also time for an ice-cream!
