'Quiz Night' on 11th February

We are very pleased to announce details of Quiz Night - an exciting upcoming event in support of J-ROCK at Bitterne Manor. Hopefully, lots of you will be able to put a team together and support the J-ROCK team. We look forward to seeing you there! Entry forms are available in the school office.

Production preparations,!

Year 5 had a very busy morning writing their scripts for "Beowulf - the play", in preparation to perform it to our friends and family next week.  The children worked in groups of 5 to turn a chapter of the the story into one scene, which they will perform.  They will also need to consider the costumes and props for their scene.  It has been wonderful to see them working as a team and to hear them use the language of saxon warriors!

Raffle draw

Today the eco team had the opportunity to draw the lucky 18 winners of the chocolate hamper. There is still the opportunity to pay the donation if you didnt get the opportunity. Well done to our winners and thank you for your continued support!

New dining hall equipment!

Mrs Rice and I had a meeting before Christmas with the Chief Executive of City Catering; the company who provide our delicious schools meals. The outcome of the meeting was that we could spend a 'little bit' of their money improving some of the equipment the children were using during lunchtime (and you know how good Mrs Rice and I are at spending others money to make our school the best!)

Today the children had a lovely, brand new salad bar, new cutlery holders and 2 new waste disposal units! This equipment was long overdue and has really improved the lunchtime service we offer our children. 

Chocolate Raffle!

We apologise in advance to those who may have begun their 'New Year Resolutions' but this is for a good cause...! Mrs Carter who leads the school Eco Team has won a Cadbury's chocolate hamper for completing a survey online during Energy Month! Unfortunately the hamper arrived late afternoon on the last day of term, so we couldn't distribute the chocolate. So we then thought that it would be a good idea to run a 'Chocolate Raffle!'

Every child will be entered into the raffle. We are just asking for a small voluntary contribution of 50p to go towards our Eco Team. Please send this in by the end of this week. The Eco Team will then hold the raffle with Mrs Carter one day next week. The lucky winners will come home with some chocolate!

All contributions will be spent on badges for the Eco Team and food waste (fruit peelings) bins for each class, which can then be composted. Please support this good cause!

Year 5 going tor goals!

Year 5 had a great day today learning about what kind of learners we all are.  The children had to plan and teach their partners a new skill, considering their partners' best learning style; creative, logical, spatial etc.  They came up with some amazing ideas for how to best teach their skill - well done Year 5.
