A very ROYAL day in Swifts!

Swifts have had a WONDERFUL day immersing ourselves in our new summer topic… MAGNIFICENT MONARCHS!

The class room was decorated with flags and bunting and the children arrived at school dressed as Kings and Queens!

We started our day by drawing our own royal portraits which linked to our art topic. The children loved using their artistic skills to add detail and shading to their artwork.

After playtime, Swifts learnt how to Waltz! It was wonderful to see the children dancing so beautifully to the music!

We finished off our day by making and enjoying our very own afternoon tea! The children enjoyed jam sandwiches and scones!

Take a look at the pictures below to see a snap shot of the fun we have had…

Kestrels visit the Bitterne Manor War Museum

Kestrels had a great afternoon exploring our very own war museum to start our new topic 'Britain at war'. We had lots of fun trying on uniforms, looking at old photos and documents and getting hands on with some replica WW2 items, such as gas masks. We are all really excited to find out more about our topic this term!

Easter Bunting Winners

Congratulations to the winners of our Easter Bunting competition!  Entries from each class were judged by our House Captains.  All entries are displayed in the entrance to school- they look amazing!  Well done to all that entered!  

City Mission ROCK!

 The Rocking Robins class took part in a very interactive day led by City Mission. A visitor came in and taught us all about 'Palm Sunday!' They had a fabulous day learning new things about a different religion and sharing their ideas. We looked at ways of 'welcoming' people with an emotions game, the story of 'Palm Sunday,' acting the story out and creating a lovely collage of a palm leaf. The Rocking Robins class were beaming with pride by the end of the day! 

Here's some highlights of our day...

Thank you to City Mission for coming in and making it a very memorable day for the Rocking Robins class 💛
