Ahoy me hearties!

We have had the most fantastic trip today.  Year 3 pirates spent the day at the Victory in Portsmouth.

We had the chance to look at a pirates rations,

Dress up,

Tie knots,

And even hold an actual pirate pistol!

Don't worry!  We didn't try any pirate grog!

It was a wonderful experience for all the children.  Thank you for helping them to dress up, it certainly made us all feel very piratey.  We even had pirate mini bus drivers!   (Thank you Mrs Chance and Mr Finn)

Learning our times tables...

There are a lot of different ways to learn our tables and here's a really good example. Why not direct your child's tablet or computer towards this link for a few minutes each week? Times table games.

Philharmagic Orchestra visit BMPS!

The children had a treat this morning when they were entertained by the fantastic Philharmagic Orchestra. It was great to listen to all the children's favourite songs being played live and to even get up and have a dance! One of our own very talented musicians was also able to take part. A huge well done to Lucy Gowans, who seemed very much part of the orchestra, even though she only received the music yesterday!

Zany Zebra nearly done...

Team Zebra are putting the final finishing touches on our Zany Zebra... Next week, we are being visited by a representative from Marwell Zoo  who'll leading some workshops with the children on Zebra conservation. They will also be collecting our completed Zebra which will be being displayed in Southampton along with all the other Zany Zebras. We'll let you know more details about that shortly.

So we are letting you know that those vouchers mean a great deal for our school and provide a lot of much needed resources for PE, Games, Sports and the playground. Please remember to collect and donate on our behalf - thanks!

What's happening in our library...?

Work on the refurbishment of our school library has begun! All sorts of things were being carried into school yesterday and our imaginations are running wild... We can't wait to see it finished in the next few weeks or so.

The Biker's Breakfast!

 

Here are some pictures from our Biker's Breakfast event this morning as part of the 'Big Pedal'! This was very well attended and the smoothie bike was in constant action once again. Thanks to those children who came along and supported and to the BUG club who worked really hard to help run it.
