Year 6 visit the NOC in Southampton


Year 6 were very lucky to get a chance to visit the National Oceanography Centre earlier this week. This was a chance to have a look at the incredible work that goes on there and also explore some ideas about our own carbon footprint. Pupils got to tour the centre, visit the aquariums and carry out work linked to the Eco-Schools project.


Football league

The football U 11s  mini league has begun.
On Thursday evening Bitterne Manor played three matches. Winning one, drawing one and had one loss.  The score lines were very close. This is promising to be a very tight league with another 4 games to go over the next few months.  The boys played really well, never giving up and playing together as a team.  Another event to be proud of.

Year 3 - Hands on Science

 
Year 3 have been out investigating what soil is made up of and designing soil experiments to test different types of soil.

 
We used white boards to note down everything we found in the soil as we got stuck in!

 
Don't worry no worms were harmed during this science lesson!


Year 3 Non-fiction research!

 
Year 3 have been working hard in teams to research different topics ready to create a report.
 
 We have been looking at non-fiction texts and learning how to use features such as the content's page and the index to aid our research.
 
We are very good at working together in a team and enjoyed presenting our research to the rest of the class.
 
Our work is displayed outside our classroom so please pop in and see them if you can.
 
 




Year 3 Gymnastics!

Year 3 have been very fortunate to have a specialist gymnastics coach in to help with our PE lessons.

We have been learning about balance and key gym moves ready to put into a routine.

We all look forward to Tuesdays gym lessons!






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!
