SUPPER Swifts!

 SUPER SWIFTS have been flying high during their first week of Year 2! We are so proud of all of the amazing things that Swifts have been up to already and we felt that we just HAD to share it with you! 

From completing summer reading challenges to creating some amazing art work in our PSHE sessions they Swifts year is really beginning to take off already!

ROCKING Robins first day!

The new ROCKING Robins class of 2023-2024 have been utterly amazing today! They have thoroughly enjoyed their first day back activities and been absolute stars ⭐ 

We started the day by exploring our new classroom and going through new rules and routines. We then went through the school rules - 'Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe.' Miss Sangha taught us actions to go with these too. Ask me about these! 

We spent time thinking about our learning value for this half term which is the 'Heart' and ways to show kindness to one another 💗 We shared examples and wrote them on a jelly bean template where Miss Sangha will make a display out of it! 

We have been active too and did some just dances, Miss Sangha and Mrs Baird joined in with us. It was fun! 

The afternoon was spent doing rainbow time so we got to play with our friends. It's been a really fabulous first day back. 

Here's a sneak peak...

Roll on tomorrow 😊

Welcome Back!

 

We would like to welcome back everyone to a new term. Best wishes to the new Year 7's as they begin their next phase of education. For all of us at Bitterne manor, let's get back learning to be the best we can!

Paultons Park

Yesterday, Kestrels had a wonderful time at Paultons as their end of year treat. It was a great day and fun was had by all, children and adults alike! 

Farewell Kestrels...

So today we said our farewells to Kestrel class 2023. There were quite a lot of tears shed, but also lots of laughs and smiles!

Thank you for being a fantastic class. The year 6 team are all so very proud of you.

A huge thank you for all our thoughtful gifts and cards today, we were touched by your generosity.

Now, have a fabulous summer and the very best of luck starting your new schools in September. We look forward to you coming back to visit us and telling us how you are getting on! 

Summer Fair Activity Afternoon

Sadly, we weren't able to to run our summer Fair as planned this year but we think the children enjoyed their afternoon of activities and games as you can see in the pictures below. Thanks for all your donations - it isn't too late to make a contribution before the end of term!

Kestrels' Art Gallery

Kestrels finished their 'Bees, Beetles and Butterflies' art topic by creating our own art gallery. On display were the amazing drawings, paintings, collages, prints and Pop Art inspired pieces. Jays visited the gallery and chatted to our artists about their work. They were very impressed and hopefully have been inspired!
