Year 3 visits the Pig

What an amazing trip!  During our visit to The Pig, we have learnt about all the fruits and vegetables they grow and how they are used on their menus.  We had the chance to see the pigs, chickens and quails and we were able to sample some homemade biscuits and apple and mint slush.  We have all enjoyed ourselves and can't wait until our Mums and Dads take us there for dinner!!

Home learning in year 5

Thank you to the family and friends who helped year 5 with their amazing home learning projects this term! They are fantastic! What a creative bunch of children you have! Our task was to create a forest in box!  So many lovely ideas including using hamma beads, tissue paper, recycled materials, polystyrene , natural materials from the garden and much more! They look amazing on our class display,  so thank you very much!  Here are just a few examples.

Being Great Sports!

A great day had by all at the recent City Wide Athletics Championships. Special mention to Amber who made it through to the final of the girls 60m and to Maurice for winning the upper school long jump competition.
Bitterne Manor was also represented at the Southampton Schools swimming gala. We took part in some very competitive races across a variety of strokes. All children took part in the spirit of the event and did themselves proud.

Bienvenido a Bitterne Manor!

We will be very pleased to give a big welcome in our school to a group of children from Spain next week. The children will be staying with families from Bitterne Manor and St Denys and are attending school for part of their visit to the UK. They will be learning about our country and experiencing English and England first hand. We hope they really enjoy their visit. The group of students are all from Teruel (pictured below) which is high in the mountains in Aragon in the East of Spain. They are at the primary school or Colegio Publico called 'Las Anejas' (pictured above).

Saints Raffle Winners

Well done to the winners of our 'Saints Raffle' announced yesterday. Lucky winners receive some fabulous Saints memorabilia. Thanks for all the support in raising over £200 for the school!

Summer Fayre 2016

Currently in school, teachers are very busy with assessment moderation, writing pupil reports, work scrutiny, lesson observations and preparations for transition. Ofsted may well call at any minute! Surprisingly, however, foremost in their minds is who is going to get gunged at this year's Summer Fayre! Here are the candidates that have 'volunteered' and they are arranged in no particular order. Honest.

Queen's Birthday Picnic

Today was a very special buffet held to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday. The children all enjoyed a picnic in the school grounds and a special birthday cupcake from City Catering in honour of her majesty who, as you can see in the pictures, was able to attend the event and help out... We do wish the real Queen a very happy birthday!
