New member of Year 1

Look who has just decided to come and play!

Welcome to Bitterne Manor!

Egciting news!

I have been checking the eggs a lot over the past few days and when I opened the incubator this morning, you'll never guess what I saw....

A crack in an egg!

 

I was so concerned about the egg, thinking it was broken, I picked it up, and ...

 

IT CHEEPED!

 

I can officially say, the hatching has begun!

 

I will be back in tomorrow with (hopefully) some fluffy, new members for year 1.

Mosaic Renewed!

You may have noticed someone working on the mosaic art at the front of our school. Her name is Rachel Fenner and she is the original artist who designed and created it for us back in 1990. She has agreed to come back and attempt to restore and repair her work and to try to get it back as near as possible to what it was like when  new. It has been really interesting talking to her about the ideas behind her work and its historical context. Next time you're passing look out for the Roman and Celtic designs. Her original ideas and drawings are in the picture below. If you would like to know more about her art and other examples of her work in our area then head over to: http://rachelfenner.co.uk

Eggciting times!

We are all very egg-cited in year 1 at the moment and looking forward to welcoming our new classmates.  For the parents that haven't been dragged in yet, I thought I'd post a few pictures of our little friends.



 The children have been learning all about hatching chicks and how we should look after them.

 The eggs were put into the incubator on the 2nd of April so we are egg-specting the hatching to start on Monday.  (Don't worry about the weekends, they will be coming to stay at my house and if anything does happen I will make sure it is all captured and blogged!)








Fingers crossed that they all arrive safely and quickly, as it's just too egg-citing for us in year 1!

Year 2 visit Victoria Country Park

On Wednesday 27th March Year 2 visited Netley and Victoria Country Park. We walked through Netley and talked about what it was like compared to Bitterne, and then arrived at the country park. We saw the hospital where Florence Nightingale used to work, and built sculptures of minibeasts in the forest. Despite the cold (and the snow in the afternoon!) we had a brilliant day! Thank you to all the parent helpers, Mrs Peterson for helping out and Mr Puckett and Mrs O'Hara for driving the buses!

Chelsea Photos

Here are the Chelsea photos as promised. For the Tournament on 12th March at Chelsea training ground.

KS 1 Reward time

The house captains ran an obstacle course for KS1 children who have displayed excellent behaviour all of Spring 2.  The children experienced rope climbing, wall bars, balancing and a multiskill obstacle circuit.  They had great fun! Well done to all!
