Southampton City Council Update

A Request from the Mayor...

This is a personal request of help from the Mayor of Southampton Councillor Ivan White and Mayoress Mary White. This year Southampton celebrates 50 years of becoming a city. Will you join us and help break a Guinness World Records® Record?

At 11.00am on Sunday 23^rd March 2014 we plan to amass the largest swarm of human bumble bees to participate in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile being held in The Guildhall Square, Southampton.

In recognition that Southampton is truly a diverse city to live and work we fully expect to see bees that represent all ages and occupations from our community.  So whether you are a diva, diver, driver, student, mum, dad, gymnast, teacher, barista or barrister do join us. Individuals can run, walk, buzz, hop, skip or jump the mile. The important part is everyone joins the swarm dressed in some way as a bee. This is your opportunity to be innovative and create hives and bees of all descriptions.

To register go to:

Once you have registered, you will then be asked if you want to join a team. Please nominate:

The money raised through Sport Relief is used to help vulnerable people facing incredibly tough lives both at home in the UK and in the world’s poorest countries.

The numbers of bumble bees are declining and we are hoping to raise awareness:

Bees are great champions of terrific teamwork.

Victorian Day

On Thursday 13th February,  Year 5 had a victorian day to celebrate the end of our topic. We were joined by Trcia from Creative Histories who really helped us bring the day to life.
In the morning,  we learnt about a rich Victorian family and did object drawing, Victoran PE and waltzing. It was hard but fun.
The afternoon was great fun, we had a carousel of activities that included writing with a pen and ink, shopping in a market with shillings,  making a victorian tea and creating a poor victorian childs toy.
We had a really great day and enjoyed all of it!
We hope you like our pictures below.

Football-postponed

Bitterne Manor attended a football tournament today only to find out it had been postponed until next month. However they were very lucky to be able to use the facilities for a friendly mixed match. There were lots of goals!

Good practice for next month!

Chessel Bay Cleans Up...

The JPCSOs must have picked the one sunny day this week so far to do their bit for the community and enjoyed doing their clean up at Chessel Bay.

The Romans Are Coming!

Year 4 definitely looked the part today and enjoyed their Roman day. One particular Roman was looking a little too realistic...

Interesting Intech in Year 2

Year 2 were enjoying learning all about electricity Thursday morning when they were visited by INTECH - the Science centre near Winchester. This was great, hands on, practical Science!
