Exploring the snow in Year R!

Year R very much enjoyed getting out and playing with the snow earlier this term! We explored what the snow felt like and what was happening to it throughout the day. We made snow angels and our very own Olaf! :)

Travelling with Barnaby Bear!

We have had a very busy half-term 'travelling' to different countries and learning about them. We spent time exploring what each is like and comparing them to where we live.

We enjoyed finding out more about Poland. A big thank you to our Polish Assistant who answered many questions!

We ended our topic by 'flying' to China and having a Chinese New Year party to celebrate the year of the Goat. The children were fantastic in helping to create vegetable noodles to eat! We also used our cutting and creative skills to make lanterns and moving dragons and we used our imagination to set up a Chinese restaurant role-play and then we created a real one in class! We enjoyed eating our noodles and listening to Chinese music. We found the chop sticks tricky to use!

DT moon buggies

On Tuesday 10th February,  Year 5 were lucky enough to have lots of parents come in to help them finish their moon buggies. The workshop was a great success and the finished products were impressive. We were very excited that so many of them moved! Well done to children, parents and most especially Mrs Perry, Mrs Peterson, Miss Gallaway and Mrs Adams without whose skill, enthusiasm and endless reserves of patience they would not have been made!

Year 5 Space homework

This half term Year 5 tried a different format for their home learning projects.  They had a range of options open to them and the results were truly stunning.  A big thank you to parents and children for the enthusiasm with which they embraced the challenge. I am loving marking them and have been blown away by some of your finished pieces. A delicious thanks also for the delightful space cookies which made their way in!

Who's Spying On Us...?

 

It's Year 6! They've been sharing their spy stories and homework with parents and family this afternoon. Some great work on show.

Bitterne Manor children get Dancing!

Solent University brought the dance mats into the hall today where every child in school had the chance to strut their stuff as well as taking part in the competition.  Results have been collated and there is a winner from each year group who will receive a certificate.  These results will also be compared to other schools across the city in a Dance mat league.

Year 2 Space Day!

Yesterday Year 2 had their Space Day, which was the final outcome to show off all that we have been learning about this term.  We recorded ourselves making a video diary in role as an astronaut, talking about all the things that we would have been doing in space!  We did freeze frames of Neil Armstrong's life, took pictures and  wrote about each event. We also completed our rocket building - including a launch pad and lunar module! Well done Year 2!
