Our New Safety Buzzer

After the Christmas holidays the staff and pupils returned to a new addition to the front door of Avonmore School! Already the adults have problems remembering to always press the button before going out.
How it works:
Basically an adult inside the school has to open the door and the children can’t. The teachers thought it was much safer to have a buzzer at the front door so children get out without permission.
We have taken a video of Vanessa, our school’s receptionist, speaking about the buzzer.
We also asked three parents about the safety buzzer. Here is a summary of what they said:
What do you think about our new safety buzzer?
1. Good
2. Amazing
3. Fantastic because it is high up
Do you think your child is safer at school?
1. Definitely
2. I don’t really know
3. Yeah it’s a good idea
Do you think that the school made a good choice putting the buzzer there?
1. Yeah
2. Really good choice
3. Good idea

Avonmore Christmas Production

The Christmas production (Goldilocks and the 3 Witches) is over now and it was a huge success! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it including the cast. It was even more hilarious performing it when everything came together, like the acting and audience reactions, than was expected. The characters and their costumes were a big part of the atmosphere of the play and really added to the laughs (especially the ugly stepsisters!)
It was a really fun and amazing experience that the Year 6 pupils will carry on with them to secondary school! I think it was a really unique play that not just the year 6s will have fond memories of but the whole school too. It’s such a shame that each class only gets to do one acting production. The play was a great contribution to the last few days of a wonderful year at Avonmore!

Last Day of 2011

On the last day of school before the Christmas holidays, we had a disco with our professional DJ: DJ Cotten! It was fantastic! All the curtains were closed and there was a real disco ball! The KS1 had one in the morning and KS2 had one in the afternoon. Everyone said they had a BLAST!! The songs were a very good choice and none of the children were upset.

KS1’s disco
In the morning they danced and danced with their friends jumping up and down enjoying the music. Their dancing was great! They were doing all kinds of dancing (street dancing, hip hop and conga.) After all the dancing they were up for a surprise: Santa Claus was coming to wish them a very Merry Christmas and give them special presents! The children couldn’t keep in their excitement when they heard that Santa Claus was coming to give them presents.Everyone had a great time and the children left with a smile on their faces.

KS2’s disco
In the afternoon the KS2 had a disco: we absolutely had an amazing time. There was a game of pegs when some people had pegs and had to peg someone without getting caught. Everybody loved it! The music choices were great. A major event happened when a horrible song came on. It was.........’Baby’ by Justin Bieber. Everyone jeered and covered their ears. It was a fantastic end to the last day of 2011 at Avonmore!

Welcome to 2012

Everybody is back from their Christmas holiday and into 2012. Some students and staff have made New Year’s resolutions. My resolution is to eat less sweets so I would be healthier and the dentist would like me more (because I will have less cavities!). Some other people have chosen to be nicer to their brother or sister. Miss Driscoll’s resolution is to not eat too much rubbish, whilst Miss Cotten’s is to exercise more. People in other countries celebrate New Year’s on different days. In Turkey, they celebrate on the same day but at a different time, whereas in China, they celebrate in February. Some countries celebrate in different ways and eat different food.
