Cave Paintings Bitterne Manor Style!

On Friday, year 3 finished their Stone Age cave paintings. We had created a 'cave wall' by mixing sand and pva glue and letting it dry. We then did lots of designs in our sketch books and chose the best one to transfer onto our walls using crayon. We think they look amazing!!! Well done Year 3!

Badge Day!

It's badge day! They have finally arrived! Those children who are our new class learning leaders and the new team captains, who have been patiently expecting their badges, will get them today.

Year 4 have been making Mayan Batiks

We have been looking at Mayan artwork and have been making our own Batik

We carefully drew our designs onto fabric before tracing over with PVA glue.
After it had dried,  we used clothes dye to stain each panel with bright colours!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 3 go 3d shape crazy!

In Maths this week, we have been learning about 3d shape. Miss Blightman set us a challenge to make some 'skeleton shapes' using straws and playdough. We had great fun, and learned even more about faces, edges and vertices. We were also very resilient and had to work as a team.

New JPCSO team for 2014

Our new JPCSO (Junior Police Community Support Officer) team met for the first time today. The team will be helped by our local PCSOs and be learning about personal responsibility, supporting the community and the role of the Police. The PCSOs also brought a Police car with them which we were able to look around.

Election 2014

Elections took place today for this year's school councillors. We have a new theme for our school council this year - 'Learning to Lead'. We'll be announcing our new class leaders next week - so the children will have to wait for the result a little bit longer!

Football Success for Bitterne Manor

2 Games, 9 boys, 10 GOALS and a clean sheet for our GOALIE!

Results:
Bitterne Manor 5, Thornhill 0
Bitterne Manor 5, St Johns 0

It was a great team performance with goals coming from all over the field and a great defensive display.  Our Number 8 was the David Beckham of Bitterne Manor as his pinpoint crosses resulted in numerous goals. Number 7 will be taking Rooney's position if he continues at his current rate, scoring 4 great goals!
Our smallest player also snuck in 2 cheeky goals, jumping over a player and scoring from the line and placing one nicely past the goalie.

A big Well done to all the boys and thank you to Mr Puckett our fantastic coach!
