Year 1 Visit Bitterne

Year 1 visited Bitterne today to carry out a traffic survey and a learning walk around the town centre. The children were very knowledgeable about the local area and the shops and services in the town. Greggs and Sainsburys seemed to be their favourites...

Excellent Egyptians!

Egyptians arrive at Bitterne Manor!

On Wednesday, a lady came to tell us lots of information about Ancient Egypt.  We learnt a lot, including that there were 7 different Cleopatra's and we learnt how to write in hieroglyphics.  We loved playing the Egyptian games and learnt that the Egyptians called themselves people from the black lands.  We even learnt about the two headed, six legged monsters!

On Thursday we held an Egyptian feast.  We all ate our Egyptian food (which was lovely, but did turn out to be fatal for Mr Adams!)  We all dressed up in our Egyptian clothes and even got our faces painted.  We had a wonderful time poisoning and mummifying Roman Adams.    (Thank you Mr Adams!)  We all looked like real Egyptians.  It's been a brilliant topic and we've learnt a lot!

Year 2 opened 'Cafe Chocolate' to the public yesterday. Parents and other customers were treated to a selection of cakes and drinks organised by the children. Well done!

Christmas Service

Yesterday, we held our Christmas service at the Church of the Ascension in Bitterne. Led by the Rev Andy Smith, the school celebrated Christmas with readings, songs and a performance by the pre-school, school choir and Year 3 recorders. We were so pleased that so many of you came to join in with us and would like to thank Rev Andy and his team for their welcome and support.

Year R visit B&Q!

Year R had great fun exploring B&Q! We were very lucky to take part in a workshop, where we made our own bird feeders to take home. We also had fun making Christmas decorations. We used lots of glue and glitter to decorate fir cones! Well done Year R for listening so well and making fantastic decorations!
