Crime Scene Investigation!!

On Monday morning, Year 1 came into school and there had been a crime committed!!

We were sent a letter by PC Bob, asking for a class who knew a lot about Fairy tales to help him investigate.

We went outside to investigate - what had happened? Who could have been involved? Watch this space for our newspaper reports to find out!!

Special performance!

Year 5 put on a very special performance today to their friends and family.  In teams of 6, they wrote the script for one scene of the Anglo Saxon legend 'Beowulf'.  They prepared the props and costumes for their scene and performed it beautifully! They really thought about the tone and expression of their voices, and after watching the film back, they decided that they need to work on the volume of their voices to make sure that all of the audience can hear.  Well done Owls!

Safer Internet Day

Safer Internet Day 2017 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 7th February with the slogan ‘Be the change: Unite for a better internet’. The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together in helping to create a better internet. In school, we talk to your children about keeping themselves safe online as an important part of our curriculum. The day on 7th February hopes to encourage more and more of us to think about and promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people.

Lots of learning in Year R!

We have been very busy over the last few weeks!


In Maths, we have been learning how to add and we have been recording our number sentences! We will explore subtraction next!


We were all very excited to be joined by Barnaby Bear who will stay with us this half-term! Barnaby Bear is teaching us all about where we live as well as different countries! We are learning facts and we write these in our travel diaries.


So far, we have 'travelled' to London on the train to find out more about our capital city. We also 'flew' to South Africa, where we acted out 'We're Going on a Lion Hunt". Did we find a lion? Have a look at the pictures to find out!

Our New Equipment In Action!

We've got some very happy and active children enjoying our new play area in school! Thanks to the PTA and Lottery Fund - we're really going to make the most of it!

Winners at our school

A huge well done goes to some of our children today who were invited to the mayors chambers last night after becoming winners and runners up in an unusual suspects competition. The children were encouraging others to recycle some of the more unusual items that often get forgotten.  Some of the winning entries will be seen around Southampton. Well done to everyone who entered, you did amazingly!

 

Year 6 Bootcamp!

We are reading the story 'Stormbreaker' in which a teenage boy (Alex Rider) becomes an agent for MI6. As part of his preparation for the mission, Alex is sent to an SAS training camp. Year 6 are writing from the point of view of Alex and so we put them through their paces at 'Bootcamp' in order for them to understand his experiences!
