Year 2 Natural Art



Year 2 are making their own sculptures using natural materials from the local environment. This is one example of the children's homework project. What a wonderful creation!

Year 2 at The New Forest Wildlife Park



Year 2 enjoyed a day at the New Forest Wildlife Park today. They saw many different animals and learnt about their habitats. They loved seeing the otters swimming and the lynx prowling up and down. They thought the wild boar were smelly and very messy. Some of the children saw the joey at the wallaby wood and were amazed when it jumped out of its mother's pouch. Well done Year 2 for being so well behaved. Your sketches of the animals were very detailed and precise and Robin and Mandy commented on how quiet you were while sketching. We had a wonderful day and the rain held off.

Year 4 invigorates garden!

As part of our Green Week pursuits, year 4 were particularly eager to improve our garden area. The garden went from this:

To this in an afternoon! They all worked really hard and I am sure all enjoyed it. As well as transforming our garden area, the class took it in turns to plant some plant and vegetable seeds. We are looking forward to collecting our harvest of carrots, radish and lettuce. Mmmm!

Bitterne Bistro jingles

Year 5 have been creating jingles in their music lessons to advertise Bitterne Bistro. We studied jingles to find out what sort of information needed to be included, before writing our own! Here are a few examples of the finished jingles!

Year 6 have been investigating perimeter and area in the school grounds.
Did you know the area of the playground is approximately 720 square metres?


Year 2 had great fun at Itchen Valley Country Park today. They made sculptures using natural materials. Take a look at some of their creations.

Year 5 ready for Bitterne Bistro!

Year 5 have been testing out their french skills this week, putting together conversations ready for the launch of Bitterne Bistro! We have been using finger puppets to help us do this!
