Ever considered fostering...?

Southampton fostering service need more foster carers from Southampton to provide care for local children. 
"We provide an excellent level of support and training , competitive allowances and fees, a welcome grant of £1635 and a very active foster carers association.  Come along and join us at our information evening on Wednesday 18 October, 6.30pm – 8pm at the Civic Centre. The session is very informal and  will cover the realities of fostering, what happens during the assessment and panel process, challenges you will face and the training and support you will receive. This will be followed by a Q&A session and an opportunity to ask current carers about their experiences. You will also be able to take away an application form and information pack."

Mrs Carter's wet!

Today we tested our prediction for which material would make the best coat for Mrs Carter. First we tested Mrs Carters trousers. They are not waterproof. We tested the bubblewrap and it kept her leg dry. Take a look at some of our photos. We had great fun getting her wet!!

Swifts and Swallows are 'BIRD-TASTIC!'

What an exciting start to the week Year 2 have had today! The AMEW's Falconry were invited in to teach us all about the different birds of prey found in our area and linked to our topic this half term, 'Into the Forest.'  Mandy and Paul really loved the children's questions and awarded them gold stars for their enthusiasm.  Well done super Swifts and Swallows, we are very proud!  Here are some highlights from today's visit...be prepared though as the video is very scream-ish...

Dance day

 

This week Nightingales had their dance day. They worked together as a whole class to create a dance with Miss Joseph to the tune of 'Ghostbusters'. The children also worked together to develop their own steps. The day was a success and the children danced really well and remembered all the steps!

Year 4 trip to Testwood Lakes.

 

 

Today Year 4 visited Testwood Lakes! In the morning we went down to the River Test. Here we were able to see the different features of a river we have been learning about in class. Later on we played a  game where we recreated the water cycle! Using buckets and pipes, we passed the water around the cycle and tried not to waste any water along the way. Finally we went into the woods and completed some orienteering. We used maps to locate numbered points in the woods and found the pictures that matched the numbers at each point. 

 

Overall we all had a fun filled day in the sun!

Old toys

We have had a very exciting week this week looking at a selection of old from hampshire county. We have looked at the toys, talked about the materials they were made from and had a go at playing with some. It was really interesting for us all, including the adults.
