Year 4 update

What a busy week we've had! First we carried out some fieldwork near the source of the River Itchen, at Cheriton.

In an assembly to our parents and the school, we shared some of the work we've been doing this term, connected to our topic 'Save our River'. A mixture of written work, facts, art, dance and music. Well done everyone for all your hard work!


Recently, the class have been harvesting the vegetables and fruit they've been growing. Our triumph have been two pumpkins. We scooped out the seeds and saved these for planting next year. Then we scooped out the flesh, steamed it and used it to make some pumpkin pies! The class voted for their favourite designs for making faces. We've had fun with the fruits of our labour.

 

 

 

 

Let's Rock with Year 5!

Thanks to Year 5 for their excellent and entertaining Rock and Roll assembly. It was brilliant! I think they enjoyed themselves as much the audience did. You can see in these pictures how amazing they looked! 

Sea City Museum

Year 2 had a very interesting and enjoyable trip to the Sea City Museum in Southampton this week. We were really showing off all that we had been learning about Titanic in our topic and picking up a few new facts too! We also enjoyed dressing up and steering the ship...missing the icebergs, of course.

Natural Phenomenon...

We took both of these pictures in our school grounds. The first is an impressive spider's web caught in the morning dew. The second is truly remarkable...we called it the 'leaf tiger'! This formation of leaves was discovered by pupils on the playground and was created entirely by the wind. We felt it looked just like an animal - what do you think?

Year 3 Weekly report

This week we have been working very hard in maths!  We have learnt to draw 3D cubes and cuboids and a few other 3D shapes.  We have been solving 3D shape challenges and some of us have made cubes.

 

In literacy, we have been learning all about persuasive writing and we have been writing letters to Mrs Hayward, trying to persuade her to get rid of school uniform (but don't tell her, it's a secret!) 

 

 

We have all written an email to Indiana Jones and we hope that it gets to him in his cave where he's being kept prisoner!  We will be searching for his treasure soon!

 

 

We are looking forward to art day on tuesday next week!

 

 

That's all for now,

School Council Elections 2013

Junior Police Community Support Officers

These are our Year 6 pupils taking part in their first 'JPCSO' session with our local PCSOs from Hampshire Constabulary. The scheme helps our older pupils learn about their own personal safety and we hope will build their confidence to handle difficult situations. All the children were very enthusiastic in their new role but they were just trying on the uniforms and they will not be given any statutory powers....!
