Super Skylarks smash week 1!

Skylarks have had a great first week (3 days) They have really settled in well and are already getting used to new routines. They have been excited to get started on their year 3 journey and have really impressed Mr Taylor with their fantastic attitudes to learning. 

Today, Skylarks have set themselves targets for the year; represented numbers in different ways in maths; shared their fantastic knowledge of nouns, verbs and adjectives with Mr Taylor in English and have even begun learning a new song in music. Wow what a week! 

Keep up the fabulous work Skylarks!

Owls put on a performance

Today, Owls enjoyed acting out the story of how the Shang Dynasty came to be. They have been really excited about our new topic and have settled into year 5 really well. Good job Owls, keep up the good work! 

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!
