Excellent Me Day!

Wow!  What an amazing day it has been today!  Everyone made such a SUPER effort to dress up as something they would like to be when they grow up, including the members of staff! Thank you so much for taking part!

Here are some fab pics capturing today's event...

Newbie super Swifts get a taste of September...

What a super day it has been today!  Around the school each class got a chance to meet their new teacher that they would have in September and took part in fun activities.  Newbie Swifts were super duper :) They got a chance to find out information about their topics, life as a Swift and of course take part in creative tasks!  Well done newbie Swifts, you were all FABULOUS! In true Swift style we even took some selfies...#2cool4skool!

Showcase Music Concert!

On Monday, Nightingales and Swifts took part in a special music concert involving Showcase! Nightingales and Swifts could demonstrate what they had learnt from the terrific team that have been in promoting a love of Music and all the wonderful instruments that they have to offer.  Thank you to all those parents who came and watched, it was amazing!

Owls fly to Itchen Valley!

Phew - what a day!  Owls class flew all the way to Itchen Valley today for an amazing day of Science and Geography.  This morning they went on a woodland walk to identify trees such as oak and beech and to compare what we know about rain forests to a more local one.  They also got the opportunity to do a "meadow sweep", which was the highlight for many!  They caught shield bugs, crickets, grasshoppers and even snails!

 This afternoon they went on a trail around the park looking for clues to crack the code!  We were particularly looking for non-flowering plants and how they reproduce - finding spores on ferns and male and female pine cones.  We had the chance to closely observe and sketch them to help with our learning on life cycles in Science.

They had a fantastic day, made possible by our helpers, so a big "Thank you" to them.  The children were exceptionally well behaved too, so well done Owls!
