Y4's Time Team topic

This term year 4 have been learning about the Roman invasion of Britain and what the Celts thought of that!

In Maths the class have been problem solving, Roman style. How many boats are needed to carry soldiers across the river? Design a camp to hold x amount of soldiers. And even, given a budget, design a new town! Caesar was pleased with all our efforts.

As part of our homework project, all things Roman have been created including the most amazing shields and swords. Well done.

In Art, the children studied Roman pottery and designed their own pots. On our visit to Fishbourne, we'll be looking out for pottery and other artefacts found at the site - especially the mosaics.

Next week, we're looking forward to Roman Day. Have you decided what to wear yet? We are still hoping to discover Clausentum (Roman Southampton) once there's a break in the weather. Our local archaeologist is ready and waiting...

After school Girls Football

A new after school club for girls football has started thanks to Solent university coaches. The girls are really enjoying having the chance to improve their skills. A few girls will  be picked to represent the school in a tournament in a couple of weeks.

Well Done For Being On Time!

SAM...the school attendance matters mascot...was visiting our school last week and welcoming all the children as they arrived at school on time (of course!).

School Attendance Matters

Meet SAM...School Attendance Matters...and ODO...Odd Days Off! These two helpful characters paid a visit to school last week to help the children understand how important school attendance is. Luckily, our attendance is getting better and better!

Best Attendance - Heroes Again!

Heroes again score the best team attendance for the last term. As a reward, they earn an extra break and a special 'wear their team colour' day - in this case, red. Well done to all Heroes!

Young Sports Ambassadors YSAs

Mrs O'Hara has appointed 6 YSAs to assist with the promotion of PE at Bitterne Manor. They will present awards and choose a Young Sports person of the month. They may have the opportunity to talk at other schools and hold a meeting at Bitterne Manor for other YSAs to share ideas. They were the successful candidates out of 20 children who applied. They were chosen from a written presentation of why they would be good Ambassadors.
These are your new YSAs

PE

The Spring term has been very busy in PE with coaches from Eastleigh FC teaching Multiskills and tag rugby to years 2 and 3. Also year 1 and 2 have gymnastics coach on a Thursday morning.
